Position
Ruby is a partner in the employment team based in London, with a focus on acting for senior executives and partners, many of whom are based in the financial and professional services sectors. She advises on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment and partnership matters and is recognised, in particular, for her expertise in exit strategies, complex exit settlement negotiations, whistleblowing, and discrimination claims.
Her clients include managing directors, finance and compliance directors, founders, and C-suite executives. Recognised as a leader in her field, she has over a decade’s experience and is commended by clients for her empathy, pragmatism, and tough negotiation skills.
In addition to her senior executive practice, Ruby has a significant track record in advising, litigating, and negotiating on maternity, sex, age, and disability discrimination cases. She has a strong interest in issues facing women at work, including pregnancy and maternity discrimination, equal pay disputes, salary negotiations and sexual harassment, and she also frequently advises individuals with mental health conditions in relation to disability discrimination and reasonable adjustment disputes. She is adept at helping her clients navigate internal grievance, conduct and performance processes.
