Freeths grows employment team across UK

Freeths has expanded its national employment team with the appointment of eight new lawyers across seven offices.

The new hires are Fergus Currie (employment barrister, Bristol), Mitchell Roberts (senior associate, Leicester), Lisa Aitken (senior associate, Birmingham), Stephanie Clarke (senior associate, Milton Keynes), Jainika Patel (senior associate, Manchester), Sophie Lloyd (associate, Nottingham), Claudia Booth (associate, Sheffield) and Ellie Wise (associate, Milton Keynes).

The move follows a 43 per cent increase in the size of the employment team over the past four years and coincides with the release of Freeths’ 2025 Employment Survey.

Rena Magdani, partner and national head of employment, pensions and immigration at Freeths, said: “I am delighted to welcome our eight new lawyers to the team. 

“This expansion is a direct response to our unprecedented growth and the increased demand for employment law advice, particularly driven by the Employment Rights Bill. 

“This strategic growth ensures we continue to provide first-class, commercially astute, and pragmatic advice to our national client base.”
