Specialisms: Recruitment; Employment and Benefits Law

I am head of the firm's recruitment sector team, specialising in advising end users and recruitment companies on all aspects of the recruitment process, payroll outsourcing and HR outsourcing. I advise on the liability and insurance aspects, as well as the regulatory issues faced by recruitment businesses. I am also experienced in advising on the employment status of temporary workers, TUPE and on the employment law aspects of outsourcing and other commercial deals.

I speak regularly at the Association of Professional Staffing Companies, have advised the CBI and APSCo on the Agency Workers Directive, am regularly consulted by HM Treasury and HMRC on the tax regime relating to agency and temporary workers, and deliver seminars both to clients and internally. I joined Osborne Clarke in January 2010.
