Gemma Woodhead

I am a Partner in the Employment team. I joined Lewis Silkin after having spent 12 years working in-house for Warner Bros. and, since being at Lewis Silkin, have undertaken a secondment with Epic Games. I pride myself on forming strong relationships with my clients and working with them as a business partner. Having worked extensively in-house, I understand the importance of being able to balance legal risk with a business' goals, and I work closely with my clients to provide clear and practical commercial and strategic advice. I'm a believer in dealing with issues at an early stage before they escalate and I'm always happy to talk through an issue with a client however small it may seem. I advise on the full range of employment law issues and have considerable international experience. I have worked across various sectors but, particularly, have extensive experience in Games and Media. My expertise includes advising on large-scale, cross-border international projects such as restructures, navigating complex disciplinary and grievances issues, managing dismissals, including sensitive senior exits, and conducting and managing workplace investigations. · Lewis Silkin
