Meet Allison Grant
I have specialised in employment law and workplace relations for just over 30 years.
My experience
My expertise covers all aspects of the employment relationship, and I have significant strength in supporting clients with a strategic focused approach to their situation at work, advising and representing on protection of individuals interests, rights and reputation, involving matters of grievance, disciplinary, and negotiating settlement and exit packages.
My approach
I often secure significantly favourable settlements for my clients, and throughout my time as an employment lawyer have been instrumental through my support and advice, enabling individuals to address compromising treatment at work and turn their situation into an opportunity to navigate a secure and successful outcome.
During my career I have acted for many hundreds of senior professionals across the sectors, mostly representing at management-level, successfully representing my clients interests involving some of the largest organisations.
I am also a CEDR trained mediator.
What our clients say
Fantastic from start to end
Having to contact or find an employment lawyer is never something you want to have to do, but from the very first contact to concluding the deal as it were, I can’t praise Nicola enough. She supported, helped, gave the right advice at the right time and in a way which was easy to understand. Nicola actually helped me rationalise what were very strange events. If anybody is facing the kind of event that needs an expert in employment law, Nicola and the team are the go-to experts. Hopefully I’ll never need their services again but if I did I’ll wouldn’t hesitate doing so!
I reached out to Bloomsbury Square when I was put in a position I had never been in before! Nicola Welchman called me & we discussed the situation and she put me at ease almost immediately.
I can’t thank Nicola enough for her knowledge & understanding, and being a friendly ear. I would HIGHLY recommend Nicola to help with your employment problems, she doesn’t blind you with jargon & explains everything perfectly!
L. F.★★★★★ Anyone looking for an Employment Lawyer…
Anyone looking for an Employment Lawyer - I would highly recommend Bloomsbury Square Employment Law! Nicola Welchman looked after my case and I must say she was very professional kept me informed throughout the whole process, not forgetting her team 5 stars from me!Nicola Welchman excellent settlement support
Nicola Welchman recently supported me in negotiating a settlement with my previous employer. Nicola was highly professional and knowledgeable but also extremely personable. Nicola’s advice was perfect for the situation, and I felt supported throughout. Nicola achieved the best result possible, and the cost of her services was very reasonable. I would not have achieved the same result and as quickly without her. I can't rate her highly enough.Recent cases:
- Acting for a Claimant in a disability discrimination claim and bonus dispute that was settled just prior to a 10-day hearing
- Negotiating the severance terms for an Executive in the insurance industry securing a significant ex-gratia sum as well as shares.
- Acting for a Chief Executive Officer of a Charity following a dispute with Trustees.
- Acting for a Senior Sales Executive secure 6 figure settlement.
- Negotiating a settlement for a senior leader who was falsely accused of bullying and harassment.
- Complex pension matter involving 7 figure settlement to resolve a historic failure to offer pension equivalence following a TUPE transfer.
