Deborah Mallerman qualified as a solicitor in October 1992 and has specialised in employment law since then. She worked for a large legal expenses insurer for a number of years before joining the Engineering Employer’s Federation in Bedfordshire where she advised 150 small to medium size companies on all areas of employment law. Her time at the Engineering Employer’s Federation was invaluable in giving her an insight into the needs of employers and their potential commercial liabilities if they did not have a proper understanding of employment law.
Deborah worked closely with the human resources function of various companies in the South East of England and helped them to avoid the pitfalls of ever changing employment legislation.
She represented many of the Federation’s member companies at the Employment Tribunal and has many years experience in advocacy as a result. She also trained managers and professionals of member companies on new and emerging employment legislation.
Deborah then relocated to Manchester and worked to set up a branch for the award winning nationwide employment law practice Thomasmansfield LLP before joining Scott-Moncrieff, Harbour & Sinclair as a solicitor consultant where she has developed a claimant practice with good feedback from her clients.
Deborah has experience in all aspects of employment law including but not limited to unfair dismissal, redundancy, transfer of undertakings, maternity and parental rights, working time, holiday rights, bullying and harassment at work, disciplinary and grievance procedures, sex discrimination, race discrimination, age discrimination and employment tribunal practice.
Deborah also has experience in drafting terms and conditions of employment and policies and procedures including staff handbooks
