Experience

I am a business adviser and employment lawyer, and before joining BLM, I was head of employment at two other national law firms.
I have been advising businesses and senior executives for 25 years, during which time I have worked with household names, international companies and brands, government institutions, local authorities and leading charities.
I specialise in strategic employment issues, including reorganisation and restructuring, TUPE transfers, restrictive covenant enforcement and executive terminations, particularly those involving complex share options, quasi partnership or shareholder issues.
My education law practice includes advising foundation and academy schools and multi-academy trusts (MATs) on a full range of education law issues, including admissions, governance, employment and safeguarding.

Membership/appointments

I am the chair of governors of the Loreto grammar school, Altrincham and a trust board member of Park Road Primary School, Timperley, both of which are Outstanding schools. I am a trustee of the Tutor Trust, winner of “Best New Charity” at the 2016 Charity Times Awards.
