Jim is an Employment Partner.
Jim supports employers across the UK and internationally as they navigate the increasingly intricate landscape of modern employment law. His practice is built around a singular objective: resolving workforce challenges before they become critical disputes, and delivering absolute clarity where the regulations are subtle and the commercial stakes are high.
Jim brings particular expertise to modern labour supply chain structures and complex employment tax issues. In an era of heightened regulatory scrutiny, he partners with businesses to identify operational vulnerabilities, mitigate supply chain risk, and safeguard both financial performance and reputational integrity across borders.
Alongside these high-stakes strategic mandates, Jim provides steady, pragmatic, and responsive day-to-day HR counsel to senior leadership and HR executives – whether that’s untangling a multi-jurisdictional employment structure, advising on senior executive transitions, or guiding a business through a time-sensitive internal investigation.
Jim also frequently collaborates with board members, executive directors, and international professional networks to address emerging workforce trends, legislative shifts, and corporate governance.
Examples of Jim’s work include:
- Assisting clients to adapt to the new labour market regulation regime under the Employment Rights Act 2025, including in relation to guaranteed hours and trade union issues.
- Advising a client on implementing a labour supply chain that are commercially robust.
- Defending complex whistleblowing claims in the Employment Tribunal.
- Representing a labour supplier in challenges from HMRC.
- Defeating trade union requests for recognition that were not lawfully brought.
