A talented and experienced employment lawyer, Emma has garnered valuable experience in both private practice and in-house.

Emma’s career began at a leading City firm, where she provided Employment law advice to individuals and commercial clients across a range of industry sectors, including financial services, manufacturing, fashion, charity, and hospitality.

Later, transitioning into an in-house legal team at an international engineering and construction company, Emma developed a 'hands-on' commercial approach to legal problem-solving.  Having spent time client-side immersed in the operations and culture of a business, Emma understands intuitively what clients seek in a legal advisor.

Emma’s recent work includes:

  • providing strategic employment advice and employee relations support to an international engineering and construction company
  • drafting, negotiating and advising on settlement agreements for international financial institutions
  • advising on Employment Tribunal claims, including unfair dismissal, discrimination and whistleblowing
  • advising both individuals and commercial clients on disciplinary and grievances procedures, redundancy, data protection issues and working time
  • drafting and advising on policies and contractual documentation
  • handling data subject access requests
