Acuity Law

Strengthened by the arrival in February 2024 of Chris Aldridge  from Cheltenham-based firm BPE Solicitors LLP, Acuity Law‘s ’very commercial’ three-partner team has the strength-in-depth to handle a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters for a predominantly private sector client base. Claire Knowles combines her duties as managing partner with a thriving fee-earning practice that includes a myriad of high level strategic advice for businesses, including as it relates to workforce planning, redundancy processes and internal employment policies. The ‘very tactically sharp’ Juliette Franklin takes the lead on much of the contentious work and is very highly regarded by employers seeking to defend complex discrimination cases, in particular. Aldridge co-heads the team alongside Knowles and regularly collaborates with the corporate team to provide employment support on transactions led by them.
