DLA Piper‘s ’excellent’ team has a strong focus on international employment law work, and the team is experienced in handling particularly sensitive and high-profile matters regarding whistleblowing, workplace harassment and senior executive matters. The group benefits from the recent addition of Emma Mills, who is now leading the Leeds employment practice following the promotion of Jane Hannon to UK employment practice group head for the firm; Hannon is noted for her work relating to workforce diversity and inclusion, restructurings and senior executive matters, while Mills has expertise in TUPE-related issues and employment work relating to corporate transactions and restructurings. Chris Baker is experienced in complex disputes and global restructuring projects.
