Darwin Gray LLP

Drawing upon 'a deep understanding of both the legal framework and the practical realities of the workplace', in the private and public sectors, Darwin Gray LLP is well-positioned to handle employee and employer mandates across the full swathe of non-contentious and contentious matters. Under the very effective leadership of Welsh speaking partner Fflur Jones, the firm displays an 'outstanding commitment to the Welsh language', a commitment that was further underscored by the recent opening of an office in Bangor, North Wales. Owen John  has also developed excellent ties among Welsh speaking clients as well as for employer clients more broadly (including many in the tech sector), which are appreciative of his uncanny ability to 'simplify tricky concepts so they can be easily understood'. Damian Phillips rounds out the team at a partner level and is 'both knowledgeable and engaging on all matters of employment law and tribunal practice and procedure'. At associate level, the 'exceptional' Rachel Ford-Evans  continues to develop a diverse practice that encompasses corporate support work, workplace investigations and employment tribunal matters for claimants and respondents.
