Meet Lorna's team

A proactive and client focused lawyer with a ‘can do’ approach

Lorna is a leading employment specialist, known for her work on high value international transactional work, including acquisitions and disposals. Her work includes contentious and non-contentious employment law and a wide variety of complex tribunal litigation – covering whistleblowing, TUPE and all elements of discrimination.

Lorna’s expertise extends to conducting her own advocacy and she also has experience defending appeals in the Employment Appeals Tribunal and the Court of Appeal.

Typical clients are Private Equity firms, or from the construction, manufacturing, retail and pharmaceutical sectors.

Lorna likes nothing more than to see her clients pleased with the outcome she achieves for them and she describes her way of working as “proactive and diligent, with an unwavering ‘can do’ attitude”.  She says, “I’m willing to work consistently hard so I can achieve the desired outcome for my clients and I’m tenacious in my approach to work”. 

Lorna knows how important it is to be organised, to manage her work and transactions carefully and she always strives to balance her strong technical understanding of the law with the commercial needs of her clients.

Describing her working style as “team-orientated”, Lorna plays an active role within firm life, getting involved with the Graduate Recruitment process, supervising trainees and providing training for junior employment lawyers.  Lorna also participates in the Walker Morris mentoring scheme.
