Mills & Reeve boost Leeds employment team

Jenny Perry has joined the employment team at Mills & Reeve in Leeds, after spells at Womble Bond Dickinson, Asda and DAC Beachcroft.

Perry joins full practice firm Mills & Reeve as a senior associate from Womble Bond Dickinson. She has previously worked in-house at Asda and in private practice at DAC Beachcroft.

As a specialist in employment law, Perry advises public and private sector clients on discrimination, redundancy processes, TUPE, whistleblowing, employment contracts, termination of employment and settlement agreements.

The employment team has grown in size since partner Stuart Craig moved to Mills & Reeve in Leeds to launch it in 2016.

The team now includes five employment law specialists, who advise organisations and individuals across key sectors including health, technology, education, charities, government, mid-market and owner-managed businesses, food and agribusiness, and life sciences.

Commenting on Perry’s arrival, Craig said: “We are delighted to welcome Jenny to the team. She brings a wealth of expertise and experience and will play a pivotal role in advising our burgeoning client base across the public and private sectors.”

Last year, Mills & Reeve reported turnover of £110.9 million, representing an increase of 4.3% on the previous 12 months and signalling a strong period of growth for the Leeds-, Birmingham, Manchester-, Cambridge-, London- and Norwich-based firm.
