Position
David is a Partner in the firm’s Employment Department, practising across all aspects of contentious and non-contentious employment law.

David works across a variety of sectors, with particular expertise in Financial Services, Media and Life Sciences. In particular, David’s practice across the Financial Services sector focusses on the intersection of employment law and conduct risk from a regulatory perspective.
