Employment law expert comes on board to spearhead department

City firm Wedlake Bell has welcomed partner William Granger to the firm to spearhead its employment team.

William joins the firm with more than 28 years of experience in employment law. In 1995, he founded the employment group at law firm Campbell Hooper, which merged with Speechly Bircham in 2009, and went on to merge with Charles Russell in 2014 to create what is now from Charles Russell Speechlys. William specialises in providing executive-level advice on leadership support, discrimination, unfair prejudice, whistleblowing, team moves, and investigations. His client base includes senior executives, boards, committees, shareholders and investors across the financial services, marketing, leisure and private wealth sectors.

William commented: ‘Wedlake Bell has an impressive integrated Employment offering with the Department working collaboratively with the wider firm to meet all clients’ people needs. I look forward to helping spearhead the department and further building my practice amongst distinguished colleagues.’

Martin Arnold, managing partner at Wedlake Bell, added: ‘On behalf of Wedlake Bell I would like to extend a warm welcome to William Granger. He brings with him an impressive multi-disciplinary skillset and a deep understanding of the context of clients’ needs at the executive level. William’s appointment is a reflection of our long-term growth strategy—developing internal talent and garnering market leading individuals.’
