Flint Bishop has added to the employment practice at its Derby office with the appointment of a new associate.

Alex Reid, who has several years’ experience in handling contentious and non-contentious employment law matters at both regional and national law firms, has become the latest new hire at Flint’s.

He has extensive knowledge of advising employers of all sizes on matters relating to TUPE, redundancy and restructuring exercises, as well as employment tribunal claims, with a particular focus on complaints of disability discrimination and sexual misconduct.

He said: “I am really pleased to be a part of the team at Flint Bishop.

“This is a great opportunity to play a role in the continued growth and success of the department and the wider firm.”

Louise Easthope, partner and head of employment law at Flint Bishop said: “We are delighted that Alex has joined the team.

“His broad knowledge and experience will be a real asset for our clients, especially in relation to his experience with commercial work, TUPE support and his regular delivery of training and webinars, which we know are really valued by our clients.”
