(Leading Juniors)Ranked: Tier 2Michael Salter – 42BR Barristers ‘Michael is incredibly organised and an excellent tribunal advocate. Very well-liked by clients for his dedication and preparedness to go the extra mile.’
42BR Barristers is ‘an excellent set with a strong employment team‘. The team reports an increase in instructions concerning disability discrimination claims, and has also been kept busy handling whistleblowing cases, which is a key area of strength for the ‘pragmatic‘ Jude Shepherd. The ‘very personable‘ Michael Salter is instructed by individuals, local authorities, public sector employers and trade unions in a wide range of employment matters, including TUPE issues and unfair dismissal cases. In recent work, the ‘diligent‘ Catherine Urquhart successfully defended Transport for London in a case involving multiple discrimination claims, including on the grounds of disability, race and pregnancy. The senior end of the group was recently bolstered by the elevation of Iris Ferber KC to silk in March 2023.
