Firm recruits employment law specialist

Birketts has announced that Beth Baird has joined the employment law team as a senior associate.

Beth is based at the law firm’s Chelmsford office but supports colleagues across Birketts’ four offices: Cambridge, Chelmsford, Ipswich and Norwich.

Beth's experience includes both contentious and non-contentious work with a focus on discrimination law, whistle blowing, restrictive covenants, TUPE, redundancy programmes and cases involving alternative dispute resolution (ADR).

Kevin Palmer, partner and head of employment in Chelmsford, says: "Beth will be an asset to the employment law team both here in Chelmsford and the wider team across the region. She has worked with a broad client base, covering both claimant and respondent work. Her previous experience in investment banking will also be of tremendous value to our clients, particularly those in the professional services industry."
