Charlotte supports our qualified lawyers on cases involving all aspects of employment law.

Charlotte has a background in clinical negligence and personal injury law, having worked as a paralegal before starting her training contract. She joins the Jones Chase team as a trainee on secondment from Bolt Burdon Kemp LLP.

I am drawn to employment law as a practice area because of the opportunity to have a real positive impact on clients’ lives.

The variety of work appeals to me, from Employment Tribunal litigation to working on non-contentious matters. It is an exciting and growing area of law where no two legal matters are the same.

The team at Jones Chase are very friendly and welcoming. As a trainee, I feel that working at the firm will be an invaluable experience and will develop my knowledge and skills.
I was immediately struck by the firm’s unwavering commitment to their clients and their emphasis on providing practical advice for each client that is legally accurate and bespoke to their business or individual needs.
I am motivated by ensuring that clients have a clear understanding of the legal process and find it highly rewarding to be a part of their journey to seeking justice and achieving their goals.
