Bevan Brittan LLP excels in catering to clients in government, higher education, and housing, though the firm also counts a number of household names from the private sector amongst its client portfolio. Led by Jodie Sinclair from London, the team handles matters relating to day-to-day HR advice, equal pay, senior level departures, and collective bargaining. Julian Hoskins regularly advises clients in the health sector on employment issues, while Sarah Lamont‘s expertise spans discrimination cases, restructurings, and mergers. James Gutteridge was promoted to partner in 2023 and primarily deals with contentious work, often for NHS clients.
