Stephanie understands that employment issues can be personal and believes the key to effective employee management is to create internal relationships based on trust, honesty and respect. Stephanie enjoys building strong relationships with her clients, most of which are HR professionals, and this helps her to partner with them to adopt a commercial but balanced approach to the employment law issues that they face. She spent over a year on secondment for a major household name and was fully integrated into their HR team – demonstrating her ability to be agile, practical and commercial.

Testimonials
