I began my legal career with Toner Legal as a paralegal and am now training to qualify as a solicitor specialising in employment law. I have always been passionate about employment law and committed to supporting individuals through challenging workplace issues. Before joining Toner Legal, I gained valuable experience at other law firms and with the Citizens Advice Bureau.
I graduated in 2019 with a First-Class Degree in Modern Foreign Languages (Italian and Spanish) and continue to utilise my language skills where required in my legal work.
I have handled a broad range of employment matters, taking cases from initial instruction through to successful resolution.
My Approach
My focus is on achieving the best possible outcomes for clients through clear, practical, and strategic advice. I work proactively to resolve matters without the need for costly and time-consuming tribunal proceedings, negotiating robustly to secure favourable settlements wherever possible. I take the time to listen and understand each client’s individual circumstances, ensuring I provide advice that is both empathetic and tailored tactics to their specific situation.
I appreciate how stressful workplace disputes can be and aim to make the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible. My clients know me for my approachable style, clear communication, and commitment to achieving results that protect their rights and meet their objectives.
Highlights So Far
- Several years experience handling a wide range of employment law matters from start to conclusion.
- Successfully negotiated high-value exit settlements without the need for tribunal proceedings.
- Acted in notable high-value sexual harassment cases that were resolved sensitively through negotiation.
- Achieved favourable results in disability discrimination claims, securing meaningful outcomes for clients.
I believe the high number of reviews I receive from past clients speaks volumes about the service I provide and the results I achieve.
