Thames Valley law firm B P Collins has appointed a new partner.

The firm has appointed Alix Beese, who previously worked for Mishcon de Reya, as employment partner.

A member of the Employment Lawyers Association, Alix provides legal advice on a range of employment law matters including complex Employment Tribunal litigation, supporting clients with employee relations issues, drafting employment documentation and advising on TUPE processes.

Alix said: “I’m very excited to have joined B P Collins’ established employment practice with its excellent reputation. I look forward to working and building strong relationships with clients to help them to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.”

B P Collins’ employment practice, led by Jo Davis, is ranked ‘Top Tier’ by independent legal directory, The Legal 500 and Band 1 in the Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession UK. Due to its quality of work, it has been instructed on high profile age discrimination and whistleblowing cases, which have established legal precedent. It also advises on non-contentious work, including helping clients to buy or sell a company or achieve an amicable exit for an employee.

B P Collins has also hired Theo McGirr as a trainee solicitor in its dispute resolution practice after graduating from the University of Leeds; and Harrison Jowett returns to the firm as a wills, trust and probate trainee after completing his Legal Practice Course.
