Employment

Cloisters

Cloisters is ‘packed with employment law talent’, housing a team of ‘outstanding counsel’. The group continues to handle a high volume of complex discrimination cases, and reports an increase in multi-party equal pay claims. The ‘exceptionally talented’ Caspar Glyn KC is representing more than 8,000 drivers, as claimants, in litigation against Bolt concerning allegations of non-payment of the national minimum wage and holiday pay. In a separate matter, Schona Jolly KC, Rachel Barrett and Ameer Ismail are acting for multiple claimants in claims involving allegations of harassment and discrimination brought against McDonald’s. Daphne Romney KC is ‘a true force to be reckoned with’, with established expertise in advising on equal pay and whistleblowing claims. Team head Dee Masters is ‘extremely knowledgeable on tribunal practice and procedure’. In recent developments for the set, Yvette Genn was appointed a Circuit Judge in October 2023, and Anna Beale KC and Sarah Fraser Butlin KC were elevated to silk in March 2024.
