Ruby is a partner in the employment team based in London. With over 15 years of experience, her practice is focused on acting for senior executives and partners, many of whom work in the financial and professional services sectors.
Her clients include top-tier senior executives, chairpersons, managing directors, finance and compliance directors, founders, and C-suite executives. She advises them on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment, partnership and boardroom matters, and is recognised for her expertise in exit strategies, complex exit settlement negotiations, whistleblowing and discrimination claims.
My expertise lies in negotiating complex severance packages and resolving high-tension workplace disputes, ensuring my clients’ professional integrity and reputation remain intact. My focus is on creating customised legal strategies that address immediate concerns and support my clients’ long-term goals. This often involves helping my clients raise focused grievances, navigate misconduct investigations, and challenge allegations of poor performance.
Ruby is skilled at achieving high-value settlement agreements and, where appropriate, contesting cases in the Employment Tribunal and High Court. She also has a significant track record in advising and negotiating on pay and award disputes, non-financial misconduct, and discrimination cases, and has a niche in representing clients with neurodiverse capabilities. She is ranked in both Chambers UK and the Legal 500 and is a long-standing member of the Employment Lawyers Association and the International Forum of Senior Executive Advisers (IFSEA).
Ruby is a regular speaker on conference platforms aimed at her client base. Her reputation in the market is such that she is a sought-after commentator on employment legal issues in broadcast and print, including BBC, ITV, Sky, FT.com, Forbes, Evening Standard, and the Guardian, including live interviews on BBC and ITV News.
