Employment practice gains discrimination specialist

The Sheffield office of Banner Jones has bolstered its employment offering with the hiring of HR and employment specialist Sara Ellison.

Sara (pictured right) joins the firm after just over three years at Taylor Bracewell, and brings more than 14 years of experience handling a wide range of issues for individuals as well as public and private clients. She offers particular capabilities in handling discrimination and unfair dismissal cases.

Commenting on her appointment Sara said: ‘As a Chartered Legal Executive I enjoy the challenges that specialising in this particular area of the law presents from negotiating an amicable solution early on in a case to save time, costs and also the emotional distress that accompanies workplace disagreements to being involved in employment tribunal litigation. Joining a multi- award-winning, ambitious law firm with a long-established reputation for excellence in employment law is a fantastic opportunity and I am thrilled to be able to bring my expertise to Banner Jones.’

Head of employment law Katie Ash (left) added: ‘Sara is a welcome addition to our established Employment Law team – bringing with her considerable expertise and experience, and further bolstering our ability to meet increased demand.’
