I provide technically complex, strategic advice regarding all aspects of employment litigation to employees and employers.

I have dealt with a huge variety of claims during my 20+ years of working in employment law involving all types of discrimination, whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, contractual issues and TUPE.


I take a practical approach to agreeing settlement agreements and will achieve the best outcome for you advising you of your options throughout.


An excellent negotiator, I always provide clear advice from the outset regarding the value / likely liability of the claim and negotiate a good settlement when appropriate and possible.


As well as litigation issues, I can also provide HR support advice regarding redundancies / restructures, TUPE (due diligence on transfers and acquisitions, service provision changes) as well as other general employment advice to clients on re-drafting policies, grievance / disciplinary matters.


For my sins, I am the firm’s Data Protection / GDPR expert, further information on we can offer your business can be found here .


I joined Kilgannon & Partners LLP in July 2019, having previously worked with Matthew for over 4 years. Prior to that, I managed a team of 15 employment lawyers with responsibly for the London office of a national firm.

Having an employee working close to the minimum wage poses risks to businesses. For example, if an employee works any overtime, they may then fall below the minimum wage.
