Journey to law
Alison studied history at Cambridge University before deciding to put her analytical skills to an alternative use and completed the Law Conversion Course at City University, London.
Whilst studying law, she worked as an adjudicator for the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Alison trained as a solicitor at a Chancery Lane firm specialising in working with public authorities, whilst volunteering at a London law centre in her spare time. She was immediately drawn to the work carried out by the employment team and relishes finding practical solutions to workplace issues.
Alison has a real passion for employment law and since qualifying as a solicitor, has gained solid experience advising public and private sector clients on a broad range of matters including terminations and appointments, discrimination, equal pay, whistleblowing, TUPE and privacy issues.
