Lewis Silkin

Employment

I have more than 20 years' experience as a specialist employment practitioner advising employers on the full spectrum of employment law matters. I work with clients ranging from City law firms to charities, via the manufacturing and engineering sectors.

I have a particular specialism in discrimination and equal opportunities issues and regularly advise employers on matters such as discrimination grievances, harassment complaints, and complex and high value Employment Tribunal claims.

For many years, a significant part of my practice has been advising law firms on their own internal HR and partnership issues and related SRA regulatory matters. I lead the firm's Law Firms group in the delivery of targeted and strategically focussed advice to the legal sector.
