TALEM LAW LIMITED - Key Persons
Manjeet or Mandy as she is otherwise known is a qualified Solicitor specialising in Employment Law since 2003 and more recently in Special Educational Needs (SEN) in the last few years.
Mandy has had a wide and varied career in the employment law sphere, having been fortunate to act for both businesses and individuals; she is therefore uniquely placed in being able to anticipate legal arguments on either side of an employment dispute. Over the course of her career she has advised on a range of matters including all types of discrimination claims, flexible working, TUPE, disciplinary/ grievance matters, staff handbooks/ policies, contracts, an estimated thousand or so Tribunal claims ranging from simple wrongful/unfair dismissal claims to complex discrimination claims, sickness absence management and provided client training. In short, her experience in this field is vast.
Sean is a barrister (called 2013) and has broad experience in a number of practice areas, but his focus has been mainly in the areas of SEN, disability and employment law and also trust law.
Sean has first-hand experience of SEN gained from supporting his children who are disabled. Some years ago, and being exasperated by the lack of provision available at the time, he was one of a small team of people who set up a successful ASD specific school in order to give children like his the chance of much needed education.
He now works with a number of charities who support children and adults with a range of disabilities and estimates that he has supported well over 1000 parents who have children with SEN and/or a disability in addition to the many adults he has worked with. Sean is particularly interested in the area of inclusion for both children and adults.
In addition to his work in the field of SEN, Sean also has extensive experience of well over a hundred employment tribunal matters, particularly with disability discrimination claims, unfair dismissal and TUPE and has also represented detained patients in the Mental Health Tribunal and professionals in regulatory proceedings.
Before his career in law, Sean pursued a career in system engineering working in industry. Sean enjoyed a successful career in this field, he gained an array of professional qualifications and his various roles played to his technical skills and project management.
