Watershed has appointed Rob Elliott to its growing team, strengthening its employment law offering. Elliott brings more than 20 years’ experience advising employers across sectors including government, retail, health, hospitality, logistics, professional services, digital and higher education.
He joins Watershed as an employment lawyer following a career spanning consultancy, private practice and in-house roles, including positions at Croner Consulting, Qdos Consulting, Bray & Bray Solicitors, Abbey HR/AHR, Firstsource and Serco. His work covers complex investigations, disciplinary and grievance procedures, discrimination matters, restructures, redundancies, TUPE, senior exits and employment tribunal defence.

Elliott said Watershed offers ‘something genuinely different’, highlighting ‘high-impact work, autonomy and the chance to build meaningful relationships with clients’, and said he was looking forward to supporting clients with ‘practical, commercial, and outcomes-focused employment law advice’.
