Dutton Gregory Solicitors makes employment appointments

Legal specialists and former colleagues, Daryl Cowan and Darren Tribble, have reunited at Dutton Gregory Solicitors, which has offices across Hampshire, Dorset and Surrey.

Before joining Dutton Gregory Solicitors, Darren spent nine years at DC Employment Solicitors in Southampton where he met and worked with founder, Daryl Cowan.

After qualifying as a solicitor at Southampton City Council with experience in Magistrates Court, planning and public prosecution, Daryl went on to provide in-house legal counsel to the South East Region of the National Farmers' Union, dealing with cases including land boundaries, animal attacks and, most of all, employment law.

In 2008, Daryl struck out on his own and started DC Employment Solicitors where he continued to take cases from the farming community, built a well-respected reputation in the field of horse-racing and established a network of HR clients across a range of corporate sectors.

"Whilst our work can often be a 'crisis purchase', the key to modern employment law is laying and constantly reviewing the groundwork," Daryl said. "Whether it is an HR Manager of a large corporation, or a business owner taking on their first employee, our job is to guide and support an organisation so that it is compliant, protected and, should any individual matters arise, we can simply take them away to deal with quickly and efficiently."

"We are delighted to welcome Darren and Daryl to the firm," said Dutton Gregory Solicitors' Head of Employment, Mark Broad. "Their experience and knowledge will help clients face the variety of challenges, both known and unknown, that lie ahead, and we will maintain our reputation as a forward-thinking and client-focussed provider of employment solutions."
