"I pride myself on finding the approach that best suits the needs of each client; looking ahead to understand the likely outcome of each action so that my clients are informed of commercial and cultural impacts."
"I work with clients with headquarters throughout Europe, the US, and the Middle East on a diverse range of matters relating to their UK workforce and work with employment practitioners in multiple jurisdictions to support clients who have a global workforce.
I chose my specialisation for a specific reason; I am a people person above all else. My clients know that I'm always happy to pick up the phone and work with them through any issue, big or small.
