What can I do for you

Judy is a very experienced employment lawyer who is known for delivering pragmatic and expert advice to universities, higher education colleges, independent schools and not-for-profit organisations.  Her work covers the full range of employment law from strategic advice on equality policy to defending clients in complex claims in the Employment Tribunals and the appeal tribunal/courts. 

Supporting your ambitions

Judy enjoys working closely with clients to understand their organisations and help them achieve their goals.

She has spent time on secondment to a university's HR department.  She produced practical guidance and template documents for appeals to the Board of Governors, making it easier for the HR Department to handle future appeals.

Judy has been a committee member, and legal adviser, for a HE institution undertaking a fundamental review of pay and benefits for over 200 assistant staff including job evaluation, a new pay spine and changing contractual terms.  No staff complaints or tribunal claims arose despite the significant changes.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
