As a Managing Knowledge Lawyer, I'm part of a team of specialist lawyers who help keep our clients and colleagues on top of developments in the rapidly changing world of employment law and policy.

I focus on ensuring clients and colleagues have the tools, training and resources to stay up to date with developments in employment law and its implications for their organisations.

I draw from my extensive experience working as an employment lawyer in London, as well as in previous roles as a Practice Development Lawyer (PDL) and knowledge manager in a leading international firm, based in Belfast.
