Practice Areas

Philip is a partner of the firm with a wealth of experience. He has invaluable experience in non-contentious issues from time as an in-house Head of HR. Philip focuses on complex high value litigation in the employment tribunal, and the High Court and appellate courts. Discrimination and whistleblowing claims have formed the core of his busy tribunal practice.

Recent work highlights include:

- Successfully defending two Employment Tribunal claims for harassment, sex, race and religious discrimination, victimisation, breach of the Working Time Regulations, failure to provide an itemised pay statement and wrongful dismissal/breach of contract brought by a former employee against our financial services client;

- Successfully defended claims (sex and race discrimination) in the employment tribunal (and also in the Employment Appeal Tribunal) from a former employee. We have succeeded in the claims heard so far and have also been awarded our costs in relation to these claims which is highly unusual in the employment tribunal; and

- Successfully defending claims of racial harassment and victimisation as well as direct race discrimination in the Employment Tribunal.

Philip has a track record of handling trade union disputes including recognition issues, advising on industrial action including numerous injunctions. He regularly advises on restraint of trade issues including restrictive covenants, breach of confidentiality and team moves.
