(Leading Juniors)Ranked: Tier 1Lucy Bone – Littleton Chambers ‘A forceful advocate with fierce energy and commitment who fights her client’s corner.’
Littleton Chambers is ‘a pre-eminent employment set with a wealth of talent at all levels‘. Among the silks, Gavin Mansfield KC‘s ‘legal knowledge is second to none‘, and has an excellent track record in advising on complex team move cases and business protection matters. David Reade KC is well known for his strength in handling equal pay litigation; Jeremy Lewis KC ‘has a breadth of knowledge of employment law that is unrivalled‘; and Nicholas Siddall KC is ‘a charming advocate, able to win over judges‘. In a recent work highlight, Adam Solomon KC, Niran de Silva KC, Sophia Berry and Charlotte Davies appeared in Jump Trading International Ltd v Couture and Verition Advisors (UK Partners) LLP, a business protection case involving the enforceability of a variable non-compete covenant – one which purported to grant the former employer discretion to determine a period between zero and twelve months- by means of an injunction. At the junior end of chambers, Lucy Bone handles a high volume of complex whistleblowing and discrimination claims, and Matthew Sheridan stands out as ‘a worthy opponent of any silk at the employment law Bar‘. The group was bolstered by the arrival of Tim Goodwin in November 2023.
