Meet Ella

I joined the Employment team at Lawrence Stephens in April 2026, having practised on both an international setting with firms such as Eversheds Sutherland LLP, Dentons UK and Middle East LLP and in an in-house setting with Sky - a leading telecommunications and media business. I trained exclusively in employment law with Sky’s in-house HR Legal Team, qualifying in December 2023, where I managed any employment tribunal litigation and/or ACAS disputes raised against the business.

I have extensive experience in both advising HR in relation to contentious matters and managing the full range of tribunal claims ranging from unfair dismissal and unlawful deduction of wages claims to complex discrimination and whistleblowing claims. I also have experience in conducting advocacy where necessary.

My in-house experience and training has meant that I appreciate what excellent looks like when delivering legal services and advice.
