Mills & Reeve has made two appointments to its Leeds employment, pensions and immigration team.
Gemma Sherbourne (pictured, right) joins as a senior associate from LCF Law.
She is a specialist employment lawyer who advises on the full range of employment issues, from TUPE, directors’ service agreements and discrimination to board and other senior level exit agreements for both individuals and companies.
Sherbourne has particular experience in the manufacturing, education and retail sectors.
Alexandra Byrne (pictured, left) has been appointed as an associate. Byrne, who joins from Gordons, advises companies and individual on all employment law matters.
The two appointments take the Mills & Reeve employment, pensions and immigration team in Leeds to seven lawyers. Further recruitment is planned over the next 12 months.
Stuart Craig, partner and head of the Leeds employment team, said the appointments follow a period of rapid growth, with several high-profile client wins.
He said: “Our client base across key sectors, particularly in corporate, health, education and charities, has grown significantly with wins from major public and private sector organisations.
“Gemma and Alexandra have the experience and skill set to advise on the strategic and complex employment law requirements of these clients and I’m confident both will play a pivotal role in the further development of the team.”
