Firm hires senior employment lawyer
Specialist employment law firm BDBF has announced the appointment of new equity partner Paula Chan. Paula previously led the employment department at a top national firm.


Over her 10 years in practice, Paula has worked on high-profile employee exits and high-value whistleblowing, breach of contract and workplace discrimination disputes. Her professional pedigree further strengthens BDBF’s offering to senior individuals in the financial and professional services sectors, also in the technology, healthcare and other regulated industries.  

Gareth Brahams, managing partner of BDBF, said: ‘We are delighted Paula has joined the firm, bringing her expertise and energy for representing senior executives which aligns with our strategic focus. Paula joins at a time of unprecedented change in the workplace and her experience, particularly in the financial, legal and professional services sectors, will ensure that we continue to cement our position as the go-to firm for senior regulated individuals in their employment disputes.’

Paula said: ‘I am excited to be joining BDBF and to working with a team of other market-leading employment law experts with a reputation for excellence and groundbreaking work. I look forward to contributing to the next chapter of the firm’s growth.’
