Parklane Plowden is widely known as ‘an excellent set of chambers for employment law barristers‘, with ‘strength and depth at all levels‘ of seniority. Dominic Bayne has considerable experience acting for major employers, including local authorities and NHS trusts, in TUPE, discrimination, and equal pay claims. In Green & Ors v Co-Operative Group Ltd, he acted for the respondent in connection with numerous equal pay claims brought by female customer team members and team leaders employed in convenience stores nationwide, who alleged that they were paid less than male warehouse operatives and team managers, with the case considering, among other things, whether the roles in question were equivalent. Andrew Webster, whose ‘fabulous attention to detail‘ is widely praised by solicitors and lay clients alike, is particularly strong when it comes to discrimination and whistleblowing cases. Tim Wilkinson is predominantly instructed by respondents. Claire Millns focuses on complex discrimination and whistleblowing claims and again mainly works on the respondent side.

Trinity Chambers ‘has a great range of first-rate employment counsel.’ Simon Goldberg KC has considerable experience handling whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, and post-termination restriction claims for both claimants and respondents. In Corby v ACAS, Antoine Tinnion recently appeared for the respondent in a high-profile case concerning alleged unfair dismissal, unlawful harassment, and discrimination arising from opposition to critical race theory expressed by the claimant on the respondent’s intranet.
