Lawyer Rankings
London Bar > Employment
(2023 Silks)Ranked: Tier 1Sheryn Omeri KC – Cloisters ‘A fearless advocate: she fights like a tiger and stings like a bee.’
Cloisters ‘has an excellent employment law offering‘. The ‘very strong‘ team is ‘incredibly knowledgeable‘ and has an excellent track record for advising across the full spectrum of employment law matters. Discrimination cases form a key pillar of the practice, and members report an uptick in equal pay claims as well as undertaking larger volumes of sensitive investigations. Schona Jolly KC and Ruaraidh Fitzpatrick represented the applicant before the European Court of Human Rights in Buttet v UK, which considered the extent to which the law of state immunity can prevent foreign nationals from bringing proceedings against their own governments in the British courts. In another matter, Caspar Glyn KC and Adam Ohringer successfully acted for an employer before the Employment Tribunal in a claim concerning the dismissal of care home employees who declined COVID-19 vaccinations. Key growth for the set includes Sheryn Omeri KC and Akua Reindorf KC taking silk in March 2023, and Andrew Watson joined the team in June 2023.
