They are all personable, commercial and practical, but robust and intimidating to opponents. Exactly what you want in employment lawyers, whether you are on the claimant or respondent side." Legal 500 2027

She has a no-nonsense approach. Alex Mizzi and Lydia Christie are also members of the team with similar encyclopedic knowledge of employment law, expertly but personably delivered. Annie Long is another safe pair of hands. ’ Chambers UK, 2026
