The 'approachable and responsive' team at Geldards LLP provides 'pragmatic and transparent' advice to Welsh public and private sector employers across a range of contentious and non-contentious matters. Welsh speaking team head Lowri Phillips has an eclectic practice that encompasses equal pay work for local authorities, as well as a considerable volume of advice to private sector employers (including an increasing number in the financial services space) across a range of advisory and ongoing operational work, including as it relates to data protection. Like Phillips, Helen Snow is also able to provide advice through the medium of Welsh, a skill which is often utilised by her public sector-focused client base, which are appreciative of her 'accurate and helpful' advice, including on niche employment law for Wales-based agricultural workers. Joga Singh 'provides very astute and pragmatic advice' to respondents, particularly in the context of multi-faceted employment tribunal matters.
