The employment law team at Bristol-headquartered national law firm Burges Salmon has been boosted with the arrival of Katherine Flower as a partner.
Katherine, pictured, joins from international law firm Slaughter and May’s London office, where she worked for nearly 17 years as an associate and then senior counsel.
She has a broad employment practice advising FTSE 100 companies at board and C-suite level on the employment aspects of complex corporate transactions and restructures, board level exits and appointments as well as sensitive investigations and disputes.
Katherine will be based across both Burges Salmon’s London and Bristol offices.
Katherine, who will be based in Burges Salmon’s Bristol and London offices, said: “I am excited to be joining Burges Salmon’s award-winning employment team, which has a leading position in the market and includes both an impressive client-base and breadth of experience.”
Head of Burges Salmon’s employment team Adrian Martin added: “Katherine’s arrival will add further strength to our employment team. We’re really pleased to welcome a lawyer of Katherine’s calibre to the firm.”
Burges Salmon’s employment team advises clients throughout all UK jurisdictions and across the world through an international network of leading independent law firms.
The team works for FTSE 100 and 250-listed companies and major public sector employers as well as a range of other businesses, those in the not-for-profit sector and senior executives.
It regularly advises on high-profile and business-critical projects for these clients. The team is also active in helping to shape UK employment law and participates actively in numerous employment law organisations and committees.
Burges Salmon employs around 1,000 people in its Bristol HQ and London and Edinburgh offices.
