Media and technology expert joins employment team as partner in Cambridge
Penningtons Manches Cooper has appointed Graham Green as a partner in its employment team, bolstering a 50 fee-earner practice known for advising on complex and high-profile matters. He joins from Eversheds and brings extensive experience acting for major media, technology and multinational clients.
Green is widely regarded as a ‘go to’ adviser for TV and film broadcasters and global technology companies, with a client list including the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Netflix, Sony Pictures, Nokia and Alibaba. His work spans discrimination, whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims, as well as contractual disputes, equal pay and high-value contentious matters such as restraint of trade and deferred compensation.
He has significant tribunal and High Court experience, and has led on some of the most prominent employment cases in the UK media sector, including advising the BBC on equal pay grievances and representing broadcasters in landmark discrimination claims. He will be based primarily in Cambridge while also spending time in London.
Paul Mander, head of employment, said: ‘Graham is a fantastic addition to the team... very well known in the market... a first choice adviser on many matters.’ Hilary Aldred, employment partner in Cambridge, added: ‘Graham’s arrival is excellent news... his reputation, sector insight and depth of experience will further strengthen our offering to clients in the region.’
