Chris McAvoy-Newns's Linkedin Analytics

I'm an experienced, personable and responsive Employment Law Solicitor, who acts for employees and employers in both contentious and non-contentious employment law matters. I'm also a CEDR accredited mediator, an Employment Law Trainer and a Part-time Employment Tribunal Judge. I'm an experienced litigator, having spent most of my career managing the full range of Employment Tribunal claims (including appeals up to the Supreme Court). I also provide day to day advice on the full spectrum of employment law issues and advise about the employment law aspects of commercial and corporate transactions and draft, review and negotiate settlement agreements, service agreements and contracts of employment. Having worked in-house on a number of occasions, I'm experienced in providing concise, pragmatic and solutions focused advice. I'm also experienced in advising about discrimination in the context of goods and services and have represented clients in the small claims Court. Please see the below recommendations for more information. In addition, People Legal and I have been recommended by Legal 500 on numerous occasions and most recently for the following: ‘People Legal were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were responsive, kind but also gave fair and honest advice. They dealt with an extremely tricky situation with efficiency and were able to resolve things quickly and with an excellent outcome. In my case, it is not over stating things to say that this firm changed my life. It has enabled me to get on with my career and you simply can’t put a price on that. I did get initial quotes and emails from other firms but many were not as responsive, did not seem as up to date on the law and were not using the remote validation/ signature technologies that have become so essential recently. I cannot praise them enough.’ ‘Chris McAvoy-Newns is bright, commercial and a pleasure to work with. He is transparent with fees to clients have cost certainty. As a team they pack a punch and work on high value and complex cases at a fraction of the cost of their legal competitors.’ ‘Incredible attention to detail. Very personable and genuinely seemed to care about my case and the issues involved. They went above and beyond to make sure I understood all my options and the potential outcomes. I would instantly recommend this firm to anyone.’
