Girlings

Employment Law

Partner

David has a background in science and the pharmaceutical industry and before training as a solicitor he spent more than 10 years as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry; working for the world’s largest pharmaceutical company Pfizer, in their Bioprocess Development Group at Sandwich, Kent.

Following the announcement of the closure of the Pfizer manufacturing site he was selected by his colleagues to represent them during the redundancy process and therefore, somewhat unusually for an employment lawyer, has experience of large scale redundancy consultations from an employee’s perspective and first hand experience of the personal issues and uncertainty faced by his clients.

David’s experiences in representing his colleagues led him to choose to retrain as a solicitor on leaving Pfizer in 2008 and following his graduation from the University of Kent and the College of Law he joined Girlings in 2011 and qualified as a Solicitor in 2013. David is a Legal 500 Recommended Lawyer.

David advises on all aspects of employment law.
