St Philips Chambers boasts a reputation for offering ‘strength in depth’ when it comes to employment law barristers, fielding a sizeable team that regularly acts for large private employers, public sectors clients such as NHS trusts and local authorities, and individuals. Edmund Beever, head of the employment group at chambers and part-time employment judge, offers broad expertise covering dismissal, discrimination, and whistleblowing cases. Sophie Garner was recently instructed by the claimant, a part-time senior manager allegedly denied a pay rise on the grounds that her husband earned sufficiently enough to provide for the household, in high-profile discrimination case Jiang v James Durrans Sheffield Ltd. Francis Mortin represents both claimants and respondents in worker status, discrimination, and whistleblowing claims. He is noted by clients for his advocacy and client care skills. Alexander Rozycki recently represented the claimant in D’Arcy v Rugby School and Govorusa – the housemistress bringing numerous claims against the school, including for whistleblowing detriment, disability discrimination, and victimisation, after she was suspended after allegations she acted inappropriately with students.
