She works in a number of different areas of employment law and has advised extensively on executive terminations and general employment-related issues such as redundancy programmes and disciplinary matters, discrimination and maternity and the drafting of employment related documentation. Liz also advises clients on Employment Tribunal proceedings and appeals to the Employment Appeals Tribunal and Court of Appeal including claims of unfair dismissal, breach of contract, and discrimination. She frequently advises employers on how to protect their confidential information, intellectual property rights, client base and workforce by means of both legal and practical measures. She has also been involved in a number of acquisitions, asset sales and the outsourcing of services and often advises on the TUPE regulations and their application to corporate transactions.
Having completed her training contract at Bird & Bird, Emily qualified into the International Employment and Incentives Group in September 2006.
