Collyer Bristow—Andrew Granger

Employment expert joins as partner

London firm Collyer Bristow LLP has welcomed Andrew Granger to the firm as a partner.

Andrew moves to Collyer Bristow after almost 34 years with Taylor Wessing, where he established and led the employment and pensions practice. He is highly experienced in contentious and non-contentious employment matters, including recruitment and dismissals, restructuring, trade unions, discrimination, and restrictive covenants. He focuses upon advising major clients in the banking, construction and media sectors.

Head of the employment team, Tania Goodman, commented: ‘We are delighted to welcome Andrew to the firm. Our focus on ambitious businesses, the City and senior individuals has seen strong growth for the team over the last year, and with a partner of Andrew’s calibre and experience we expect this to continue and flourish. Andrew will further enhance our ability to deliver service excellence and an individualised approach to our clients, and we are excited to have him join the team.’

Andrew added: ‘It is a particularly exciting time to be joining Collyer Bristow. As well as the firm’s long-standing reputation in the legal market, I am enthused by the firm’s broad range of clients and its ambitious plans for the future. I look forward to contributing to the firm’s ongoing success.’
