Caroline Neadley has joined law firm Wilkin Chapman as a partner and will be based at its Grimsby office, where she will work closely with head of employment Oliver Tasker.
She has 22 years’ experience in law in a wide range of sectors, including food, education and public sector employment.
She said: “I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Wilkin Chapman. Having worked in both the private and public sectors, I have a unique employment law skillset which will complement the wide range of experience within the team. My private sector experience is primarily a varied client base across sectors such as manufacturing, motor, food, and charities. I also have extensive experience in the education sector.
“These specialisms align very well with Wilkin Chapman’s client base. My expertise will further develop the employment teams’ experience and ability to support existing clients, and secure new clients during a time of varied legislative reform.”
Oliver Tasker added: “Caroline’s appointment is a great asset to our highly-regarded employment team, and demonstrates our ability to attract the very best legal talent in the region. She brings incredible experience and a diverse sector knowledge which will benefit our clients across Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire, and nationally.
“As well as having led legal teams in her past positions, Caroline is recognised as a leading individual in employment law in the Legal 500, an independent legal guide ranking individuals and firms on feedback from clients and peers. She is also the chair of Women in Business Hull, a highly successful women’s networking organisation aimed at supporting and inspiring women in the region.”
Caroline has a degree in law from Sheffield Hallam University and undertook her Legal Practice Course at the York College of Law.
