Amy is a Senior Associate based in our Manchester office.

Amy's particular area of expertise is managing employment tribunal litigation for businesses in the retail, hospitality and logistics sectors.

In addition to defending employment tribunal litigation, Amy enjoys working alongside clients to manage people-related risks, whether that is by ensuring that businesses have the right contractual and policy documentation in place, to negotiating settlement agreements, to providing strategic advice during periods of organisational change.

Amy prides herself on getting to know her clients' businesses so that she can provide straightforward, pragmatic advice which is in line with their commercial objectives.

In recent years Amy has:

• successfully defended a company in the hospitality sector against multiple claims of race discrimination which were alleged to have taken place over a period of in excess of five years;
• successfully acted for a real estate business in respect of claims of sexual harassment in circumstances where the perpetrators of the allegations had left employment and were not willing to give evidence at Tribunal; and
• advised a sports club on the employment aspects of the sale of a number of its golf clubs including on the application of TUPE.

Amy qualified at Brabners LLP in 2015 and joined Shoosmiths in April 2019.
