Michelmores LLP remains a go-to outfit for clients in both the public and private sector, particularly those active in health, education, and retail. The Exeter-based practice handles matters ranging from high-profile tribunal litigations involving discrimination and whistleblowing to employee relations issues and corporate transactions. Lead partner James Baker is particularly well-versed in contentious employment work, while Andrew Tobey‘s areas of experience include TUPE outsourcing issues, senior executive termination, and breach of covenant injunction claims. Rachael Lloyd's capabilities extend to union-related matters, data protection, and TUPE. Bethan Jones left the firm in December 2023.
