Shakespeare Martineau has welcomed legal director Helen Dyke to its Birmingham employment team.
Bringing with her more than 15 years’ experience advising employers, Helen – who will be based at Shakespeare Martineau’s Birmingham hub but working with clients nationally – has joined the firm after almost 12 years at Irwin Mitchell.
Helen said: “I am absolutely delighted to have joined Shakespeare Martineau’s employment team. The team has a fantastic reputation, which can be seen by its recent band 1 ranking in Chambers & Partners 2024 guide. I am looking forward to working alongside the education and employment partners to deliver sound advice and legal expertise to the education sector, in addition to the firm’s commercial employment team.”
David Browne, lead employment partner for the education sector at Shakespeare Martineau, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Helen to the firm; her broad sector-specific experience and commitment to excellence in service delivery will be a real asset to our team as we continue supporting educational institutions to thrive in an ever-evolving and rapidly-changing landscape.”
