Lara Kennedy, who has a masters degree in employment law, has a broad knowledge of the employment litigation process and has provided assistance with many high profile employment law cases in barristers chambers in London.

Ms Kennedy said she was “very excited” to be joining a law firm that has a good reputation for providing commercial services and a socially responsible ethos.

“This coupled with the fact that the firm is recommended in the Legal 500 and Chambers directories made the firm stand out as a future employer,” she said.
