For his clients, David is the first call for challenging employment queries. “An employer might call me about (re)negotiating staff contracts or attending a tribunal,” he explains. “An employee may call me about a pending grievance or redundancy. My role is to ensure that, whatever a good outcome looks like, we achieve it.”

That commitment to achieving a ‘good outcome’ is built on David’s passion for his work. “I like helping people. Intellectually, employment is a really interesting part of the law, but it’s also a very human part of the law. It’s about people’s lives. Whether you’re an employer or employee, relationships matter. I like that human dimension.”

That philosophy informs David’s approach to his work. “Whatever the issue – from a policy that stands the test of time to a grievance that needs resolving – I help guide people through the process. Where necessary, I help provide the objective view, taking the heat and emotion out charged situations to reach better commercial and/or personal solutions.”

David’s background (and ongoing role) in commercial law enables him to bring a unique perspective to his employment law work. “In both areas of law, the right solution is one that’s realistic, that leads to the best result and, wherever possible, protects relationships,” he explains. “I think my clients would say those are the sorts of solutions I work to deliver.”

Qualifications & Experience

David read Economics at Leeds University (BA) and qualified as a solicitor in 2001. He joined GSC in 2005, where employment law has grown to occupy most of his workload. He became a partner in 2013.

‘A small firm which punches well above its weight’ GSC Solicitors LLP undertook leasing transactions for several blue-chip corporate tenants, particularly in the media sector. It acted for a number of hotel owners regarding the acquisition and development of new hotels.

“We have found the service excellent, and it is for this reason we have continued to use GSC. The key strengths for us have been a commercial approach to deals that is often missing from solicitors, and a personal service based on a knowledge of us and our needs and long-term plans.”

“The main positive comparison we have noted from GSC is the personal touch and commercial acumen.”

“We have often used different legal firms for IP and other work in the past, but GSC’s commercial approach and professionalism, coupled with the excellent working relationship we have built up over a number of years makes it our preferred choice.”

“As a Financial Advisor I have been personally using and recommending GSC for over thirty years. I have referred clients of mine to them and only ever been thanked for the recommendation, which should convey the confidence I have in the individuals, and the firm.”

“Great result today. Just wanted to say thank you for your continued hard work in fighting our corner on this case. You have both been amazing. Michael incredible support and good ideas.”
