Rupert is a solicitor who has specialised solely in employment law since 2001 – he set up his own firm in 2008.

Rupert advises on the full range of employment issues and is a trusted adviser to many large companies. He gives practical advice based on his knowledge of employee/industrial relations as well as employment law. His focus and passion is on giving practical, easy to understand advice to employers, enabling them to do the right thing in the first place and to get on with running their businesses. This makes good HR sense and it helps keep his clients out of the employment tribunal.
