Recognised as one of the UK’s leading employment lawyers, Jamie has a first-class reputation for handling high stakes disputes, complex ER issues and significant human capital projects, with a strong practice in business restructuring, including advising on all (collective and non collective) redundancy programmes. Acting for a range of clients from UK and US listed businesses through to smaller organisations and senior executives, Jamie is a creative problem solver with a sharp business focus, and is highly regarded for his expertise in advising on significant litigation in the Employment Tribunal and the High Court, boardroom work (including handling exits in a listed environment, those within PE-backed private companies, and those with overlapping incentives' issues) and workplace investigations.
Jamie is a market leading adviser on business protection work, including the protection of trade secrets and other confidential information and the enforcement of restrictive covenants. He is experienced in advising on team moves and helping employers to manage the risk stemming from employees and third parties who pose a threat to their legitimate interests, by taking action ranging from securing undertakings or obtaining injunctive relief, to pursuing claims for damages/loss of profits.
Outside of work, Jamie enjoys spending time with his children and wider family, most sports (running, cycling, and skiing in particular), live music, and socialising with friends.
