What you’ll learn
This seminar aims to do two things:
- First, to sharpen understanding of the underlying mechanics - avoiding pitfalls and increasing the effectiveness of the pleaded claim
- Second, to consider settlement issues - helping to reach an earlier (and better) settlement for the client
Ezra Macdonald, Barrister, Pump Court Chambers
Ezra Macdonald has a busy employment practice, both on paper and in Tribunal. He has advised and represented clients across a broad range of issues, including (as a selection) unfair dismissal; redundancy; discrimination (including “associative” discrimination and discrimination by perception); TUPE (including “TUPE-analogous” cases in the public sector and the Henke exception); restrictive covenants; employee share schemes; and the application of the Working Time Regulations 1998. His practice is evenly split between claimant and respondent work. He has been instructed on multi-week Tribunal hearings and half-million pound claims, straightforward judicial mediations and small holiday pay cases, complicated defined-benefit pensions matters, and everything in between. There is often an overlap between Ezra’s commercial practice and his employment work, dealing with (for example) share purchases and sales of businesses.
