Practice Areas

Nick specialises in employment and discrimination law. His work encompasses pre-claim advice to litigation at an appeals level.

Nick has reputation of being able to achieve substantial settlements for clients, often without the need to commence litigation or attend trial. He has particular expertise in disability discrimination cases (including a successful ‘landmark’ reasonable adjustments claim), sex, sexual orientation and age discrimination cases, whistleblowing, complex unfair dismissal cases, and has acted in a number of extremely sensitive, high profile cases involving sexual harassment. He regularly advises on individual equal pay cases and reorganisations and redundancies. Nick also assists senior executives in high value negotiated exits and contractual disputes, most notably the enforcement of restrictive covenants.

Nick appeared before the Women and Equalities Select Committee to give evidence on how effective the EHRC is in the enforcement of the Equality Act.

Career

Nick has a LLB in Law and Criminology from Sheffield University and the LPC from Nottingham Law School.

Nick trained at a law firm in Cambridge. He then worked as employment counsel for a major trade union before joining Leigh Day in 2013. Nick has provided extensive pro bono advice via the CAB and Law Centre Network.
