Stephanie started at Backhouse Jones in 2015 and qualified as a Solicitor with us in 2019.  She now works within our busy Employment department.

She handles a range of employment matters day to day, from drafting documents such as contracts of employment, handbooks and settlement agreements, as well as advising on various issues including disciplinary and grievance procedures, managing sickness absences, redundancies and TUPE matters.

Stephanie also regularly acts on behalf of clients in cases which have been referred to Employment Tribunals, either from the early stages of drafting and filing of the ET3 response to the initial claim, often assisting clients right through to the ultimate full merits hearings. Stephanie regularly advocates in case management/preliminary hearings, as well as some full merits hearings.

If you have been a follower of the Backhouse Jones bi-weekly webinars, you may also recognise Stephanie as one of the regular panellists who appears on our webinars to bring you updates on employment matters, as well as answering your queries.

Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys CrossFit, live music and travelling to new places.
