Constantine Law has recruited James Baker and Julie Goodway as partners in its employment team, taking the firm to 20 partners and continuing its recent growth. The hires strengthen its advisory offering to senior executives and employers, with the firm now counting 12 specialist employment partners.
Baker joins from Lee & Thompson, where he was head of employment, bringing more than 20 years’ experience across contentious and non-contentious employment law. His practice focuses on business protection, TUPE and advising senior executives and employers, particularly in sectors including media and entertainment, financial services and professional services.
Goodway joins from Thomas Mansfield Solicitors and advises on a broad range of employment and discrimination matters, including dismissals, whistleblowing and settlement agreements. She acts for both employers and senior executives, with experience in tribunal litigation and negotiating early settlements.
Managing partner John Hayes said: ‘We warmly welcome both James and Julie… their wide-ranging knowledge brings added depth to our growing employment team,’ adding that ‘our ability to recruit partners of James and Julie’s level shows both our growing reputation and the attractions of working for a progressive, collegiate firm like ours’.
