Hayley specialises in employment law and heads the firm’s employment group.

Hayley advises employer clients on all types of contentious matters, ranging from advising on sensitive or acrimonious disciplinary or grievance procedures to restrictive covenant and other post termination disputes to litigation in the Employment Tribunal.

On the non-contentious side, she advises employers on their day-to-day employment issues, helping them to resolve difficult workplace situations in a commercially sensitive way. She is also experienced in advising on the employment aspects of all types of corporate transactions and restructurings.

As well as advising corporate employers, Hayley is experienced in advising LLPs and other partnership structures on partnership and quasi employment issues as they affect them and their members or partners.
