Gemma BaileyCapital Law Limited

Capital Law Limited provides ‘sensible, responsive and practical advice‘ to a varied mix of private (including a growing number of technology and pharmaceutical clients) and public sector entities across a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters. Leveraging his knowledge gleaned from private practice as well as in-house, team head Richard Thomas  has vast experience across a range of employment (including in relation to collective employment law) and data protection matters, knowledge which he effectively deploys in relation to both fee-earning work, as well as training sessions. The ‘personable’ David Lewis  leverages his litigation expertise to good effect both from a risk management perspective, as well as on behalf of clients defending claims of alleged discrimination, where he will often undertake the advocacy himself. The ‘extremely helpful’ Sarah Austin  provides ‘practical solutions’, particularly as it relates to corporate support, including the employment issues associated with the firm’s private equity roster of clients on their investments. Senior associate Gemma Bailey joined from Howells Solicitors in January 2023 and adds further weight behind the firm’s contentious employment, in particular.
