New employment senior associate for Manchester office

Clarke Willmott LLP has strengthened its employment law team in Manchester, adding Emma Hamnett, a 10-year qualified senior associate to its team.

Emma joins the firm after five years at DLA Piper. Her practice encompasses the entire spectrum of employment work, including advising on complex and high value employment litigation both in the employment tribunal and High Court. She has particular experience in advising clients in the media, financial and telecommunications sectors.

Lindsey Bell, Clarke Willmott’s partner and head of employment for Manchester and Birmingham, said: “We are really committed to investing in our teams and bringing in a senior associate of Emma’s calibre demonstrates our commitment to quality and growth and further strengthens an already highly rated employment practice. It’s great to have her on board.”
