Gwynneth Tan
Gwynneth Tan is a partner and heads up the Milton Keynes employment team. She advises businesses in both the commercial and public sector and has substantial experience in the retail and higher and further education sectors.
Tan has gained valuable insight into employer working practices from secondments to two large organisations and she continues to enjoy a close working relationship with human resources departments advising on the impact of all aspects of employment law in the workplace.
She advises on all areas of employment law from organisational restructures and contractual variations to business acquisitions and sales, including dealing with due diligence and warranties and any complex TUPE-related issues. Tan regularly represents employers at tribunal hearings, which include complex discrimination claims.
She is also an accredited trainer and delivers bespoke training to employers.
Tan spent several years gaining extensive experience in mortgage-related and commercial litigation.
