Law firm appoints employment and professional discipline solicitor

Irwin Mitchell has recently appointed Céline Winham to its employment and professional discipline team in London. Céline joined the firm’s London office in April, having previously been an employment solicitor at Bolt Burdon.

Specialising in advising employees on various aspects of employment law, Céline has wide experience of contentious and non-contentious work. This has included negotiating employee exits, assisting clients with grievance and disciplinary matters, advising on contracts of employment and settlement agreements, as well as litigating in the Employment Tribunal in discrimination, whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims.

Commenting on her new role, Céline said: 'Irwin Mitchell has an enviable reputation for supporting its clients, colleagues and communities alike. I’m looking forward to playing my part in seeing this continues and working with a team with a strong track record of success.

'As the world of work recovers from the last two years, many employees are re-assessing their careers and priorities. We are working to support them on this journey and deliver the advice and outcomes they are looking for.'

Commenting on Céline’s appointment, employment partner Deborah Casale, said: 'It’s a pleasure to welcome someone with Céline’s experience and passion for employment law to the team. We are delighted to have her on board.'

Head of Irwin Mitchell’s London employment & professional discipline team, Shah Qureshi, added: We are delighted to welcome Céline'.
