Principal Associate

What can I do for you

Shelley is an experienced employment lawyer who supports organisations with the full spectrum of employment law and people management challenges.

She advises on complex employee relations matters, provides strategic guidance to minimise risk, and has expertise in defending employment tribunal proceedings.

Shelley is known for delivering clear, practical advice that is firmly rooted in an understanding of each client’s operational environment, enabling them to manage issues confidently and decisively.

Supporting your ambitions

Shelley works closely with her clients to understand their wider organisational aims, not just the immediate legal issue at hand. She recognises that effective employment advice should support long term objectives such as workforce stability, cultural alignment, and service delivery.

She also understands that the conclusion of a case is rarely the end of the journey. She actively helps clients identify learning points arising from disputes or challenges and use these insights to strengthen policies, refine processes, and maximise long term organisational resilience and performance.

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.
