Mishcon de Reya boosts Employment Department

Mishcon de Reya has today announced the appointment of Sarah Keeble, who joins the firm’s Employment Department as a Partner from Olswang LLP.

Sarah’s arrival is further evidence of the success of the department which is already one of the largest in London, consisting of 20 lawyers practising in employment law. Sarah’s arrival follows recent recruitment to the department from Linklaters and Slaughter & May. Sarah’s appointment will add further weight to the department's established and high profile corporate client base and augment its reputation as the ‘go to’ adviser for senior executives.

Sarah has more than 20 years experience of contentious and non-contentious employment law, from large scale strategic reorganisation programmes to discrimination issues and executive disputes. Her extensive corporate client experience includes acting for well known global brands and FTSE 100 companies across all business sectors, most notably in media and finance.

Sarah was a Partner at Olswang for 11 years, and was Head of the Employment Practice from 2007-2010. Prior to that she was a Partner at Manches, where she established the Employment Group.

Commenting on Sarah’s appointment, Joanna Blackburn, Head of Employment at Mishcon de Reya said: “Sarah is incredibly well respected in her field and we are delighted to welcome her to the team. Her experience complements our existing practice and we are confident that we will continue to take our business to new heights.
