What can I do for you

Rebecca has specialised in the constantly evolving area of employment law since qualifying in 2008. She works helping predominately private sector organisations manage the full range of employee relation issues that arise including providing support on day to day HR matters, representing employers in employment tribunal claims, drafting and reviewing policies, procedures and contractual documentation and assisting in change management. 

What do others say

Rebecca appreciates the need for prompt effective advice in the employment law field with clients regularly describing her as prompt and helpful.  She also ensures she understands a client's culture and values to be a trusted adviser for that business with a client recently saying Rebecca "has great customer focus – you really feel she is part of your team".

Supporting your ambitions

One of Rebecca's work highlights was assisting a multinational client in achieving an outsourcing of various work streams to different jurisdictions with the least impact upon staff and the business as possible. The planning and strategic considerations of the project were key and Rebecca worked closely with the client's HR team to ensure that the process was fully planned in advance and that they were fully supported throughout the implementation stage.

What else should you know?

Rebecca values the importance of training and mentoring individuals and regularly provides seminars on employment law issues, but she also seeks to understand and learn from the HR community attending local CIPD and HR events to ensure she can stay up to date with the challenges facing HR professionals.
