More About Philippa
Philippa’s experience covers the spectrum of employee-employer relations and she provides timely, effective and strategic advice to solve workplace concerns as they arise. If a client has an issue that needs to be addressed, Philippa works to ensure that the concern is resolved in a way that meets the commercial and operational drivers for her clients. Philippa works with clients across a broad range of industries including retail, financial services, transport, logistics, and the legal industry (yes, lawyers need lawyers too).
At heart, Philippa is a litigator and relishes the opportunity to represent her clients’ interests in tribunals and courts in all jurisdictions.
