Shoosmiths—Robert Forsyth

Law firm appoints employment partner

Law firm Shoosmiths has recently appointed employment specialist Robert Forsyth as a partner in London.

With more than a decade of experience at DLA Piper, Robert (pictured) advises clients on both the employment and employment tribunal litigation aspects of major national and international deals and projects.

A Legal 500 listed lawyer, Robert guides clients on all aspects of employment law, both contentious and non-contentious, and has particular experience in the banking, manufacturing, retail, hospitality and leisure sectors.

He brings specialist experience to support the firm’s technology sector, including the effect of AI on workforces, such as augmentation and replacement, and the role of HR, and also advises US technology companies on UK employment law and cross-border projects.

Paul Stokey, partner and head of the national employment team at Shoosmiths, said: 'Robert Forsyth is a fantastic fit for Shoosmiths’ ethos and his appointment supports the growth of our London office. I’m very pleased to welcome Robert to our national employment team.'
