Position

Ronnie specialises in employment, public and commercial law. His employment practice encompasses claims for unlawful competition and misuse of confidential information, the full range of claims in the Employment Tribunal and industrial relations disputes. He is regularly instructed to act for claimants and respondents at lengthy hearings involving claims for discrimination, victimisation and whistleblowing. Ronnie’s public law practice focuses on claims for judicial review with a commercial angle. Recent cases include R (UTAG) v TfL, where the Court of Appeal ruled that drivers on private hire apps (such as FreeNow and Uber) are not “plying for hire”, and therefore do not require hackney carriage licences. Ronnie also specialises in State aid/ subsidy control, having acted for Coventry City Council in some of the first domestic cases to consider the private investor principle (R (Sky Blue Sports and Leisure Ltd) v Coventry CC).
