Commercial law firm Taylors, which

Charlton as Assistant Solicitor to
work with its growing employment
team.She joins the firm
from the Leeds office of DLA Piper
and prior to that, she trained and
qualified at Eversheds. She also has
experience of working in-house
within the legal department of
Lloyds Banking Group. Her new role
will see her working closely with
the existing employment team, which
is led by Will Clayton, Taylors'
Head of Employment, supporting a
range of clients, and advising them
on various issues, including TUPE,
employment tribunal claims,
advocacy, compromise agreements and
general HR policies & procedures.
She also advises clients on
strategic employment issues, giving
advice on a broad array of topics,
including maternity & paternity
issues and disciplinary & grievance
procedures.
Will Clayton, Head of
Employment, commented, "Rachel's
appointment comes as a result of an
increasing demand from our
commercial clients for specialist
employment services”. “Whilst the
team is able to assist with the
general day-to-day employment issues
to support the client's in-house HR
teams, we are also seeing an
increase in demand for our more
specialist employment legal
services, such as our innovative
approach to dealing with TUPE and
providing in-house advocacy on
employment tribunals, which is very
much our core offering".
