Gemma Finlayson
I am a Legal Director in our employment team. I joined Lewis Silkin in 2024, as part of the firm's Leeds office where my cockapoo, Bailey, frequently visits. I have extensive experience in providing strategic commercial advice across all areas of contentious and non-contentious employment law. I work with household brand name clients in retail, hospitality, financial services and healthcare, alongside SMEs in the automotive, technology and insurance sectors. My expertise includes managing large-scale transformation and redundancy programmes; navigating multifaceted disciplinary, grievance and absence issues; defending complex and potentially reputation-damaging tribunal claims; and helping businesses negotiate sensitive senior executive terminations and appointments. · Employment
