Elaine McIlroy > Brodies LLP > Glasgow, United Kingdom > Lawyer Profile

Brodies LLP‘s reputation is bolstered by its prominent position in the energy sector, largely thanks to its strong presence in Aberdeen, and its expertise in the financial services, public and transportation industries. Seasoned litigator Tony Hadden heads the practice, which handles a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment law matters, including transactional affairs; Lynne Marr is a key contact for the latter. In the contentious space, one recent dispute involved acting for M&G plc on an employment tribunal concerning claims of race discrimination. Joan Cradden is the first port of call for clients operating in the financial services sector, having handled a significant volume of industrial relations issues as well as executive hires and dismissals. Immigration expert Elaine McIlroy is another key member of the team.

Brodies LLP‘s immigration group sits within the firm’s wider employment practice leading to particular strength in business immigration. Regular employer clients include large corporates, universities and other public sector organisations. The main point of contact is the Glasgow-based Elaine McIlroy, whose expertise spans sponsor licence applications, skilled worker and spousal visas, and compliance advice. Much of her recent work stems from the financial services, technology, education, transport and energy sectors.
