Firm boosts Basildon employment offering with new hire

Essex firm Birkett Long has recruited specialist employment lawyer Charlotte Holman to its Basildon team.

Charlotte qualified to practise in 2016, and joins the firm from Backhouse Solicitors. She will sit within the firm’s employment practice, as well as its human resources team, and will be advising both businesses and employees on a range of different topics. She commented: ‘I look forward to being heavily involved with the Birkett Long Human Resources service, having ongoing interaction with business clients and developing the services we provide to them. Employment law is always changing, and we can provide employers with expert, practical advice and support on issues relating to contracts, grievances, settlements and, if necessary, employment tribunals, to enable them to focus on running their business.’

Charlotte's hiring is the latest new addition to the Birkett Long team, with Alan Massenhove having recently joined the Chelmsford office earlier this month.
