Richard Reed Solicitors, based at Frederick Street, Sunderland has recently welcomed experienced dispute resolution and employment law solicitor, Kat Moody.
Kat (pictured), originally from Sunderland, has come to Richard Reed from a Peterlee law firm and will now work alongside directors Barry Wood and Phil Moir as part of the dispute resolution team.
Kat has worked for both private and commercial clients on a range of issues including employment law, professional negligence, debt recovery, landlord and tenant work and contested probate and will be bringing these skills to Richard Reed. At the same time she will also be at the forefront of driving the firm’s RR Protect initiative, which offers employment law and HR advice and support for an affordable fixed monthly fee.
Speaking of her appointment, Kat said: 'As someone who is originally from Sunderland, I was very keen to come back and work in the city and when the opportunity came to join Richard Reed I didn’t hesitate.'
'The on-going impact of the pandemic means that employers have to take into consideration their staff’s health or what might be an employee’s disability. Having the ability to get proper legal advice and support is what RR Protect is all about and it’s very exciting for me to work in this area.'
Phil Moir said he was delighted to welcome Kat to Richard Reed: 'It’s the perfect time to have someone with the experience and knowledge that Kat has become part of our team and we know she will be a huge asset.'
