Sydney Mitchell—Samantha Glynn

Employment expert joins disputes team

Midlands firm Sydney Mitchell LLP has appointed a new name to its dispute resolution team, solicitor Samantha Glynn. She is an employment law specialist who offers particular expertise in handling contentious cases in an employment context, as well as HR issues.

Partner and head of dispute resolution Dean Parnell commented: ‘We are delighted to be welcoming Sam into our team and in addition to taking on a good mix of employment tribunal claims she will also be providing support to our Employment Armour retainer clients.’

Samantha added: ‘I am looking forward to working with Dean and the rest of the team at Sydney Mitchell. The firm has an excellent reputation and their Legal 500 status is well deserved; I really enjoy being part of a highly motivated team who are focused on getting the very best results for their clients.’

Samantha's addition represents the second move within the dispute resolution department so far this year, with Sundeep Bilkhu recently receiving a promotion to associate in the firm's Birmingham office.
