Sian is a criminal and professional discipline specialist who is training to undertake work in employment law. Having joined Pump Court, a common law set, last year, Sian is keen to broaden her practice areas and has found employment to be a natural area of progression. Her experience in crime has honed her rapport with lay clients and sharp skills of cross-examination while her experience in regulatory tribunals (such as the NMC) has provided an appreciation of the issues which can arise in a work environment and tribunal advocacy. In undertaking her training, Sian has shadowed several hearings conducted by experienced employment practitioners and taken part in a simulated employment tribunal case for the purpose of providing a training webinar for other professionals.
