He also helps businesses to implement HR policies and processes.

With a strong track record in both contentious and non-contentious work, Lee represents prominent employers and multi-site hospitality operators at employment tribunals across the UK.

A passionate believer in improving employment standards, Lee is a supporter of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter. He is also a member of the Employment Lawyers Association.

Lee joined us in 2013 and is based in our Manchester office.

“I have referred clients to Lee on a number of occasions when they have needed the expertise of an employment lawyer to deal with issues such as Compromise Agreements and Employment Tribunal claims. On every occasion I have received very complimentary feedback about Lee’s helpful and pragmatic approach. I personally find Lee to be very helpful and supportive. Whilst he always provides excellent support and advice when there is a problem to be managed, I have found particular value where he has provided assistance to try to prevent issues turning into problems. I will continue to recommend Lee to my clients whenever I believe he can be of assistance to them.”
