Lewis Silkin

Employment

I joined Lewis Silkin when I qualified and have spent over 20 years supporting clients with employment related solutions and strategy.

I advise on the full range of employment issues with a focus on legal and strategic advice on redundancies / restructuring; sensitive terminations and practical advice on the operation of TUPE. I have considerable experience of Employment Tribunal litigation having successfully defended a number of complicated discrimination cases and as well as advising on minimum wage compliance and audits.

I am particularly interested in how we can support our clients prepare and adapt to the changing world of work and, as part of our Future of Work team, I host a podcast.

I run our office in Cardiff, am a member Lewis Silkin's DE&I Board and the firm's Values Partner. I sit on our Strategy Board with a responsibility for ensuring that DE&I and Responsible Business are at the heart of our strategy.
