Employee exits in SMEs: where things go wrong and how to get them right
Most SME business owners do not struggle with hiring. They struggle with exits. Not because they want to get it
I am a final seat trainee solicitor working within the Employment team based at Bishop’s Stortford, having previously undertaken my second seat within the team. I also have experience working within the Real Estate and Family teams. I look forward to qualifying as a solicitor with the firm.
I work assist the Employment team on a wider range of matters including unfair dismissal and discrimination claims, redundancy exercises, TUPE transfers and settlement agreements
I obtained a law degree from the University of York, graduating with First Class Honours. My undergraduate dissertation was recently published in the Fifth Volume of the York Law Review. I then went on to complete the LPC LLM with BPP and achieved a distinction.

Tees are a very efficient and friendly organisation. They believe in providing the ultimate customer care and deliver on this consistently.
