West End firm strengthens employment and immigration team with partner hire

Joelson has appointed Jennifer Mansoor as a partner in its employment and immigration team. She joins with more than 15 years’ experience advising on contentious and non-contentious employment law across sectors including retail and hospitality, media and technology, professional services, recruitment, healthcare and not-for-profit.

Mansoor advises at board level on strategic workforce planning, complex employee relations and organisational change. Her experience includes workplace investigations, restrictive covenants, senior exits and employment tribunal litigation, as well as advising executives on severance arrangements covering compensation, bonus and equity entitlements.

Managing partner Paul Chiappe said she has ‘a brilliant track record advising businesses and senior executives on complex and strategic employment matters’ and that her ‘pragmatic, solutions-driven approach’ makes her ‘an excellent fit for Joelson.’

Mansoor said she is ‘thrilled to be joining Joelson at an exciting time’ and that the firm’s ‘reputation for delivering pragmatic, commercially focused advice’ aligns with her approach, adding that she looks forward to ‘playing an active role in the continued growth and development of the Employment practice.’
