Ruby Dinsmore

Work Department
Employment
Position
Ruby is a partner in the employment team based in London. Her clients include top-tier senior executives, chairpersons, founders, managing directors, risk and compliance directors, and other C-suite executives of multinational companies. She has 15 years of experience and is commended by clients for her empathy, pragmatism, and tough negotiation skills.
Focusing on acting for senior executives and partners, many of whom are based in the financial, tech and professional services sectors, she advises on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment, partnership and boardroom disputes and negotiations and is recognised, in particular, for her expertise in contractual negotiations and complex exit settlement negotiations and settlements, particularly for regulated individuals, and multifaceted whistleblowing and discrimination claims. She is skilled at protecting her client’s long-term interests whilst achieving high-value settlement agreements and, where appropriate, progressing her client’s cases in the employment tribunal and High Court.
In addition to her senior executive practice, Ruby has a significant track record in advising, litigating, and negotiating pay and award disputes, non-financial misconduct, and discrimination cases. With a strong interest in issues facing women at work, Ruby regularly represents clients in sex, pregnancy and maternity discrimination matters, equal pay disputes, and sexual harassment claims, as well as advising individuals with mental health conditions in relation to disability discrimination and reasonable adjustment disputes. She is adept at supporting her clients through raising their grievances, navigating misconduct accusations, and challenging allegations of poor performance.
A regular print and broadcast media contributor on employment law issues, Ruby has established herself as a thought leader and sought-after spokesperson. She has been interviewed by Sky News, BBC, ITV, LBC and 5Live and has appeared on the BBC’s Politics Show to discuss issues facing working mothers. She has also contributed to print articles in the Evening Standard, The Guardian, The Times, and other newspapers and magazines.
