Nationally recognised law firm Buckles Law has bolstered its Employment Law team with the appointment of Claire Scanlan, an experienced solicitor with more than 20 years’ experience, who joins as a key member of the firm’s Nottingham office.
Scanlan joins from Guardian Law, where she developed her strong reputation for quality and the personal, approachable nature of the service delivered, advising individuals and businesses on all aspects of the employment relationship.
Buckles CEO Duncan Jackson, said of the appointment: “Claire’s arrival strengthens Buckles’ capability to support clients in a fast-evolving legal landscape that includes workplace disputes, redundancy and restructuring, disciplinary issues and contract negotiations.
“Given the expected significant changes to employment law, her ability to work quickly and efficiently through a wide range of contentious and non-contentious employment law matters will ensure we continue to deliver the high level of service our clients expect.
“The growing reputation of our Employment Law team makes it important we recruit experienced individuals of Claire’s calibre, who can hit the ground running and immediately take the pressure of a complex and increasing workload.
Her track record, particularly in advising businesses through complex employment challenges, aligns perfectly with our ambition to grow our client base in the region and nationally. Her experience in both legal practice and operational leadership also strengthens our strategic approach to delivering employment law services across the business.”
Speaking about her decision to join Buckles, Scanlan said: “Buckles has an excellent reputation for supporting its clients through every stage of the employment lifecycle and the growth ambition shown makes it an exciting time to join.
“It is good to join a growing team that clearly values legal excellence and client care in equal measure. Given my connections across Nottinghamshire, the opportunity to contribute to a firm with such strong regional roots and national ambitions was difficult to ignore.
“I also recognise the emphasis Buckles places on growing the talent we have throughout the firm and attracting high quality legal minds to the business. I’m excited to join the team in the Nottingham office and look forward to helping scale our offering to match the growth predicted in the firm’s strategic plan.”
Jackson concludes: “Claire is another fantastic addition to the team and she will support clients across the East of England and beyond, further enhancing our full-service employment offering as we continue to expand Buckles’ national footprint amongst SME and family businesses.”
