Partner


I am a partner in Fox Williams' employment team. I advise both employers and senior executives, mainly in the financial and professional services sectors.


David is an employment partner who guides HR, management and in-house legal teams through difficult employment situations and advises senior individuals when they join and leave their employers or face challenges during their employment.

Described in Legal 500 as ‘first class’, David advises on issues ranging from difficult employee relations matters, such as performance management, dismissals and exit packages through to tribunal litigation, restrictive covenants and the employment aspects of business re-organisations and corporate transactions.

David has considerable experience of defending and bringing employment tribunal claims (including discrimination, whistleblowing, unfair and wrongful dismissal claims) and of supervising other lawyers undertaking this work for employers and employees.

His corporate clients are mainly in the financial services and professional services sectors. His individual clients include fund managers, board directors, investment bankers, HR professionals and lawyers.

David regularly advises North American clients with UK interests on their HR and employment matters.
