About Bhavna
I am head of employment. I act for a range of clients from household names, SMEs to senior executives. I support both employers and individuals on all employment-related issues.
I also provide corporate transactional support extends to outsourcing, insolvency and buy outs as well as sales from due diligence to applicability of TUPE. My HR credentials complement my legal and commercial expertise.
I have great deal of experience in handling complex claims and disputes, which can be costly if not managed properly. Further for many years I have worked with a variety of insurers like Arc, DAS, Aviva and Tesco for the purposes of funding a dispute, and we are open to considering all other options such as fixed fees.
What our clients say
"I have been very satisfied with the employment department's advice on a few tricky issues. The focus on our desired end result and pragmatic approach have been much appreciated and have certainly been beneficial when dealing with complex areas like family friendly rights. The Breakfast Briefings the team runs have also been a good networking opportunity as well as incredibly insightful – the ability to learn in a friendly, informal setting has paid dividends."
