Having specialised in employment law for nearly 20 years, David has comprehensive experience in advising on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment law and industrial relations issues.

David advises well-known brands in the manufacturing, energy, media, advertising, education and leisure sectors. He can also assist with data protection and on the interrelationship between pension issues and the employment relationship.

Keystone’s founder and managing director, James Knight, commented: “The employment team continues to see impressive growth with a 75% increase since 2014.  David makes an excellent addition, in particular, as we look to respond to client demand and further strengthen our presence in the north of the UK. We look forward to working with him.”

David added: “I am delighted to have joined such an ambitious and innovative firm as Keystone Law. I have been very impressed by the strength in depth of their teams across the full range of commercial legal services, and employment in particular. I look forward to continuing to provide specialist employment law advice to organisations across Yorkshire and further afield and sharing with them the benefits of Keystone Law’s modern approach to client service delivery."
