South East firm bolsters employment law team with partner appointment

Mayo Wynne Baxter has welcomed Nicole Humphreys as a partner in its employment law team, further strengthening its offering across the South East. Nicole joins from Acumen Law, where she led the employment department, advising both employers and employees on a wide range of workplace issues.

With over 15 years’ experience, Nicole specialises in unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, TUPE, and grievance procedures. She is also known for delivering employment law training across sectors. ‘I’m delighted to have joined a firm with a strong reputation and a robust employment team,’ she said. ‘I was particularly drawn to the collaborative and client-focused culture here.’

Nicole has represented clients in complex tribunal claims, including whistleblowing and discrimination cases. Recent highlights include securing a costs award in a pregnancy and maternity discrimination claim and advising on a flexible working dispute through to settlement. She also regularly supports clients through redundancy processes and negotiates favourable settlement agreements.

Nicola Brown, partner and head of employment at Mayo Wynne Baxter, said: ‘We are thrilled to welcome Nicole. Her depth of knowledge and practical approach will be a significant asset to our team and the wider firm.’
