Paman is a vastly experienced Solicitor Advocate who specialises in Employment Law, having been granted extended rights of audience to appear on behalf of clients in all tribunals and higher courts. He has been recognised by the Law Society of Scotland as an accredited specialist in Employment Law and Discrimination Law and is a leader in his field.
Paman has a breadth of knowledge and experience across all aspects of Employment Law. You’ll typically find him in his element when representing clients in the Employment Tribunal and the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Paman routinely appears in Tribunals around the UK, dealing with a variety of different issues, including unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, TUPE and redundancy for clients in all sectors.
Whilst Paman has trained and focussed on Employment litigation, it is important to him to maintain a core portfolio of clients who he works with on day-to-day matters on issues such as disciplinaries, grievances, transfers, collective consultation and reorganisations, as well as larger strategic matters.
He is also comfortable in dealing with matters prior to them escalating into Tribunal claims, evidenced by his accreditation in Mediation. As a mediator, Paman has dealt with a variety of workplace disputes and is available to explore conflict resolution through this avenue.
The key to Paman’s way of working is to that he gives practical and commercial advice, untangled from legal jargon. As he sees it, if something can be explained in plain English, the Latin can be left to the lawyers in litigation. Paman’s approach is to get to know a client, their sector, their business, their culture and their way of working to allow him to provide a bespoke service. With his own background as a business owner, Paman prizes pragmatism.
Without wanting to slip into the cliché of lawyers selling themselves relentlessly on their bios, he does want to highlight that he has been awarded the most prestigious legal award in the industry…Most Stylish Male Solicitor of the Year and assures us that he gave a suitably Oscar -worthy acceptance speech.
Away from day-to-day work, Paman sits as a member of the Employment Law committee for the Law Society of Scotland and is a Tutor in Employment Law at the University of Strathclyde, mentoring future lawyers. As well as this, because he is not busy enough, he sits on the Employment Lawyers’ Association’s Race and Equality Committee.
If you’ve managed to get this far then as a reward, Paman is happy to share that in his free time, he enjoys playing badminton competitively, and is still doggedly refusing to give up on any remaining thimbleful of talent as a footballer. As of this year, despite all evidence to the contrary, Paman also became a ‘gym bro’, the office is full of protein powders and snacks as a result these days!
