I have enjoyed a very colourful and exciting career. Here are some of my recent cases.

Our 100% success rate continues….in early January 18 we resolved a claim put at £340,000 for a nominal payment. Here’s a link to Gordon’s blog explaining how he did it.
Last year we represented an employee whistle blower in the Employment Tribunal. These types of claims are very stressful (even for lawyers!) - there is a lot at stake and employers, as the recent NHS whistleblower cases show, can go on the attack in a very personal way. We finally managed to resolve the case in the Employment Appeal Tribunal. It’s much better to take advice at the time you raise the disclosures because the law is very specific in terms of what kind of legal obligations are covered and the appropriate person to raise them with.
One of my favourite cases of all time…. we acted for pretty much every criminal legal aid firm in Manchester in a joint challenge of the previous government’s tendering initiative. It was great to see such a large number of business join as a team- we raised a singular challenge signed by all 120 clients under one letter from us, a new legal point under ‘TUPE’, and the tendering project disappeared shortly after (without a trace!). Many of these firms are still clients of ours. This case shows that one question, asked by everyone is very powerful.
This is one of my firms most complex cases. At a former firm, Partners Employment Lawyers, we were instructed by a large group of employed solicitors in a ‘service provision change’ case.
