3PB

The employment law team housed at 3PB is spearheaded by the ‘tenacious’ co-head Karen Moss, who is sought after by both claimants and respondents for representation in cases concerning unfair and wrongful dismissal, allegations of disability and age-related discrimination, and post-employment restrictions. Of recent note, Moss represented the respondent successfully in Williams v DLRC Ltd, which revolved around multiple allegations of discrimination and harassment based on pregnancy, race, and religion; one aspect involved disagreement as to the timeline of both the pregnant woman and her employer's knowledge of the pregnancy. Employment specialist Mark Green, another active practitioner at the set who ‘cross-examines methodically and diligently’, has notable experience before employment tribunals, the EAT, and the Court of Appeal, and deputy head of the employment law group Andrew MacPhail is well-equipped to handle complex, multi-day cases with ‘outstanding attention to detail’. The ‘formidable’ Grace Nicholls acts for both employers and employees from the education, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and retail sectors in cases revolving around allegations of discrimination, an area in which Naomi Webber also thrives.
