Leading regional law firm Birketts has appointed new Senior Associate Jonathan Insley to its Employment Team.

Jonathan brings with him more than 10 years of employment law experience, handling contentious and non-contentious matters for a broad range of clients. His expertise in employment tribunal work, TUPE, restrictive covenants and in corporate transactional work will bolster Birketts’ team of more than 20 specialist qualified employment law solicitors.

As well as his exemplary professional work, Jonathan also offers pro bono support to a community law clinic based in Essex.

Clare Barlow, Partner in Birketts’ Employment Team, said: “Our team is one of the largest dedicated employment teams in the East of England offering clear legal advice at the most crucial times to both employers and employees. The addition of an experienced legal mind like Jonathan’s will only serve to improve and expand the service we can offer our clients and I am delighted to welcome him to the team.”

Jonathan added: “I look forward to getting to work for some of our region’s biggest and most important institutions with Birketts. As Clare says, employment law is often required at times of great stress for both parties and it is vital all those involved get a clear picture of the challenges before them. I have a great respect for the quality and timeliness of the advice the Employment Team provide and I am excited to join their ranks.”
