Clare Brereton
I trained and qualified at Teacher Stern LLP, specialising in employment and immigration law before joining Brahams Dutt Badrick French LLP in January 2018 to focus on employment law.
My current practice includes both employer and employee clients. It covers a cross-section of employment law issues including disciplinary and grievance procedures, redundancy consultations, sickness absence (including, increasingly, instances of workplace stress), working time and issues of discrimination including sexual harassment. I also have experience of advising employers and employees on the scope and effect of contractual post-termination restrictions and negotiating their reach.
I have acted for both employer and employee clients in Employment Tribunal claims. For employees this includes unfair dismissal, age discrimination, race discrimination and whistleblowing. For employers I have defended claims for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. I have also acted for employers and employees in relation to applications for injunctive relief relating to post termination restrictions.
In the partnership context, I have experience advising LLP members on their exit from a partnership both in relation to the contractual exit process and in circumstances where the partner has raised allegations of discrimination.
