Managing your workforce
Esther is an experienced and trusted advisor to the firm’s education clients and supports universities, FE colleges and schools in dealing with a range of sensitive and complex employment and education related issues. As well as being a solicitor, she is a qualified workplace mediator, using her mediation skills to help nip workplace issues in the bud. She also regularly undertakes investigations into matters involving both staff and students.
Esther appreciates the rapidly changing landscape affecting the education sector and uses her experience to support institutions in getting the best outcomes for their stakeholders.
Esther also has considerable experience working in the schools sector with both state funded and independent school clients. She has recently completed her tenure as a panel member for the Teaching Regulation Agency hearing teacher disciplinary cases on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education.
She also has many years’ experience advising employer clients in various sectors from media, to retail to healthcare.
“I believe that the education sector is fundamental to the success of our society and so I relish the opportunity to support education establishments in the important work that they undertake.”
