JMW—Belinda Brooke

Employment and people solutions offering boosted by partner hire

JMW has appointed Belinda Brooke as a partner in its employment and people solutions teams. She joins from Osborne Clarke, where she was associate director advising on regulatory, commercial, employment and tax matters in the workforce solutions sector.

Brooke brings nearly 30 years’ experience specialising in the contingent workforce space. Her career includes leading the legal services function at the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and holding senior in-house legal and compliance roles at multinational recruitment and workforce solutions organisations.

Brooke said she is ‘excited to be able to bring that wealth of knowledge and experience to the People Solutions team at JMW’, adding that ‘the workforce solutions sector is both dynamic and resilient’ and that JMW’s reputation and the launch of JMW people solutions made it ‘a doubly exciting time to be joining.’

Paul Chamberlain, head of employment, said: ‘I am extremely pleased to welcome Belinda to JMW; her depth and breadth of experience are definitely going to make a significant contribution to our People Solutions offering.’
