Freeths—eight appointments

Led by partner and national head of employment, pensions and immigration, Rena Magdani, the team has announced eight new lawyers across seven of its 13 offices.

Joining at an exciting time, the new team members have stepped into their roles as Freeths continues to go from strength-to-strength as it continues its trend of double-digit growth. More specifically, the Employment Team has grown by 43% in the last four years. 

Commenting on the team’s expansion, Rena Magdani said: 'I am delighted to welcome our eight new lawyers to the Team. This expansion is a direct response to our unprecedented growth and the increased demand for employment law advice, particularly driven by the Employment Rights Bill. This strategic growth ensures we continue to provide first-class, commercially astute, and pragmatic advice to our national client base.'

Fergus Currie continued: 'I am delighted to take on the new and exciting opportunity of employment barrister at Freeths. My role will allow us to ensure clients continue to receive comprehensive and quality assistance and representation, from employee relations advice and training, right through to tribunal advocacy. I was very impressed by Freeths’ positive and purposeful outlook, a perspective that I share, and since joining have found that this outlook pervades all elements of the work done here on a day-to-day basis. I look forward to working with other members of the employment team in continuing to put this vision into practice.'

Mitchell Roberts said: 'I am delighted to join Freeths, which has a great reputation in helping public and private sector clients, as well as providing support to individuals. Everyone has made me feel welcome, I am looking forward to this exciting opportunity and working with the team to support our clients. As we know, the Labour government are making radical changes to Employment law, and I am looking forward to playing my part in helping Freeths’ clients manage these changes and challenges.'
