Jenny Hawrot LLB (Hons)

Senior associate, solicitor

I’m a senior associate solicitor working in the employment law team. I help my clients with the full range of employment-related matters including TUPE, defending tribunal proceedings, contractual matters and general employee relations and HR work.

I take a pro-active and enthusiastic approach to my work and take the time to get to know and understand the business of my clients. I am extremely focused on achieving the client’s ‘real’ objectives.
