Overview

Gareth joined Chambers in October 2023 following successful completion of his pupillage.

Gareth accepts instructions across Chambers’ core practice areas and has particular experience in employment law and personal injury. He is regularly on his feet in the Employment Tribunal and County Court, alongside of which he maintains a busy paperwork practice.

Gareth’s employment practice involves routinely appearing in public and private preliminary hearings. In addition, he has been instructed in multi-day, and multi-week, employment tribunal hearings across a range of areas. Recent cases have included claims of discrimination, whistleblowing, breach of contract and dismissal. He regularly advises on those areas, as well as on matters pertaining to TUPE, trade union rights and tribunal procedure.

In Gareth’s personal injury work, he represents both Claimants and Defendants and appears in claims across the law of negligence. He has been instructed, and successfully appeared, in cases involving fundamental dishonesty and fraud.

Gareth also accepts instructions in other areas of Chambers’ work, such as inquests and information law/privacy rights.
