Jon Gregson's Linkedin Analytics

Described previously as both a ‘legal legend’ and also ‘blue steel’. I’m not a results-orientated team player with excellent interpersonal skills. Some might say I’m a natural born larder or a first class walker. But shoddy proofreading isn’t why you’re here. No you’re here to find out about me. So here’s 10 things: 1. I’ve been an employment lawyer for the last 17 years. That’s 43% of my life. Yes I am a Millennial. 2. I advise on complex people and HR issues, for some of the UK’s biggest employers. These range from people and process issues through to industrial relations and employee engagement matters. You know icky people stuff. 3. My main area of specialism is complex employment tribunal litigation. Let’s be honest, that’s where things can end up. 4. That means I’m an advocate too. So I tell a good story. 5. I’ve been seconded in-house at one of the UK’s leading hospitality businesses. I therefore understand what clients want and need from their lawyers; from distressed purchase issues through to proactive, risk and litigation mitigation and planning. That even sounds good doesn’t it? 6. I also spend a lot of my time working in tech and innovation as a Product and Innovation Partner for our corporate clients here @Weightmans. Nope not ChatGPT sorry. 7. It means we don’t just deal with problems. It’s about working together to be more efficient and smarter in being tech-led, data driven and innovative in overcoming challenges and reaching clients’ potential. 8. I have lots of ideas. Some work related, some not. Doing so I join the dots between client service delivery and product innovation for our clients. You’ve seen Field of Dreams? Think “if we build it, they will come”, only with less Kevin Costner. 9. We get recognised for what we do too. Our Equality Act decision-making tool (designed in collaboration with Royal Mail) came as a runner-up in the Managing Partner Forum Awards for Best People Initiative. And the Product and Innovation Team came runner up as Most Innovative Firm of the Year at the British Legal Tech Awards 2022. Sometimes it’s okay to come second. 10. I appear to be the 3rd most interesting Jon Gregson on Google. Go ahead and look. 11. I am not very good at basic numeracy. Still here? Cool. If any of the above sounds familiar or is just a bit interesting please reach out, or feel free to connect or follow (virtually, not in a weird way). And if this doesn’t sound like it’s something for you then that’s okay too. You can stop reading now. Seriously stop Leave Go 👋
