What I do
I support employers of all shapes and sizes with pragmatic and solution-focused advice on all areas of employment law, including internal procedures (such as disciplinaries), discrimination, whistleblowing, reorganisations, TUPE transfers and employment tribunal proceedings. My advice is always tailored to a client’s particular needs.
As well as advisory work, I am passionate about delivering employment law training for clients.
In addition, I advise senior employees on matters involving settlement agreements, contracts, post-termination restrictions and negotiated exits.

Involving an employment issue, Smith Partnership provided clear, comprehensive and supportive guidance and advice. The professional advice from Rebecca was impeccable, identifying issues that I would not even have thought of, and her support through the process made a very stressful time much easier to deal with.
