I am a Partner, Head of our Higher Education practice, and an employment and immigration law specialist.
I have particular experience within the education, healthcare, local government, social housing, financial institutions and retail markets. My area of specialism is managing discrimination disputes and I have handled many substantial race and disability claims for clients. My experience ranges from internal disciplinary and grievance levels, right up to representing matters in the Court of Appeal.
Ashley Norman is a highly committed, commercially astute individual.
I also regularly advise clients on HR projects such as TUPE transfers, restructurings and changes to terms and conditions.
My practice also extends to leading an in-house immigration law group that advises both the public and private sector on how to protect their top talent recruited from both inside and outside the European Union.
Seminars:
I regularly provide training to clients on employment, immigration and discrimination issues.
