We are honoured to share that our Employment Group’s “strong capabilities” and aptitude in covering work in employment tribunals, civil courts, and appeal courts have been recognised in the recent publication of the Legal 500. Congratulations to the entire team.
Employment specialist Amy Smith is often instructed by clients for her expertise in disability discrimination and whistleblowing cases. She successfully represented the defendant in Mr X v Lowell Financial Limited, a case which saw numerous claims of direct discrimination, as well as harassment, on the grounds of race, disability, religion, and victimisation. Louise Quigley is especially skilled in cases arising from menopause, pregnancy, and maternity-related discrimination allegations. David Campion acts for both employers and employees in a range of cases, including TUPE matters and equal pay disputes. Stress at work claims are an area of expertise for James Hurd, and Lena Amartey is sought after by a variety of clients, including the General Medical Council and the British Dental Association, as well as national corporates and NHS trusts. Nigel Grundy is another notable junior here, and he successfully represented the Equality and Human Rights Commission against 20 claims of direct race discrimination, race-related harassment, victimisation, and unfair dismissal (Kathrecha v Equality and Human Rights Commission).
