SA Law— Beth Leng

SA Law hires new employment partner
Beth Leng has joined SA Law as a partner in the employment team from Mishcon De Reya.

Beth’s practice is divided between advising corporates and senior executives. Most of her clients are based in the financial services, recruitment, luxury goods and media sectors. She’s also worked with charities and not-for-profit organisations.

With a particular focus on renumeration, discrimination and gender equality, Beth will be working across the firm’s St Albans and London offices.

Commenting on her decision to join SA Law, Beth said: “I’ve known SA Law for a long time, referring work to their employment lawyers and occasionally acting opposite the team in cases. They have a reputation for excellence and a real common sense approach to law. I’m excited to join at such a busy time. With employees returning to the office as lockdown lifts, I think we will see more corporates and senior executives requiring legal advice to help navigate this new working environment.”

Chris Cook, Head of Employment and Data Protection at SA Law, added: “Beth’s experience and attitude to employment law means she is a perfect fit for SA Law. Our focus is on offering holistic advice, and Beth has a wealth of knowledge advising senior executives, HR professionals and business owners on how to handle any issues which may arise and not just when a dispute reaches the tribunal.”

SA Law is a full-service law firm established in 2005 with offices in St Albans and London, advising both businesses and individuals.
