Littler, the specialist employment law firm, has appointed Alison Finn as a senior associate in its Dublin office to advise on all contentious and non-contentious employment law matters.
Alison Finn joins from Matheson where she was a senior associate in the employment, pensions and benefits team.
Her particular areas of focus are:
- Business Restructuring
- Hiring, Performance Management and Termination
- Litigation and Trials
Alison will assist clients with drafting employment policies and contractual documentation (including for international businesses expanding into Ireland), as well as guiding employers through HR processes, including grievances, disciplinary procedures and performance management procedures.
She has particular expertise in handling employee terminations and any subsequent settlement negotiations, together with defending claims before the Workplace Relations Commission, the Labour Court and managing employment injunctions.
Niall Pelly, Partner and Head of Dublin Office at Littler says: “We’re delighted to welcome Alison to our growing Dublin office. Her considerable experience and expertise will help Littler meet the needs of our clients as they navigate employment issues in the post-Covid environment.”
Littler’s Dublin office, opened in January 2021, has grown strongly in the last twelve months. Niall Pelly says: “Alison’s appointment follows a tremendously successful first year for Littler’s Dublin practice. Her addition will help support and shape the next stage of our growth.”
The appointment of Alison Finn forms part of a strong growth period for the firm. The M&A Support Team in London recently expanded to include two new partners and a senior associate. Nicola James, Partner, joins from Baker McKenzie, Laura Lobb, Partner, joins from CMS and Ed Belam, Senior Associate, joins from Marriott Harrison.
These appointments will assist the firm in providing dedicated employment advice related to M&A deals, MBOs, carve-outs, demergers and other major corporate transactions. Megan Todd-Jones has also joined the London office as an associate from Squire Patton Boggs.
Jon Gilligan, Managing Partner at Littler UK says: “The recent additions to our team in London and Dublin will support and accelerate our growth as a firm. They add to our existing expertise in critical areas, from M&A deals to employment rights.”
