Employment Law Specialist Joins Furley Page

01 April 2008

A specialist employment law solicitor who trained as a barrister has been appointed by Furley Page – the legal practice recommended by Chambers and The Legal 500.

Tom Dawson, 30, who lives in Canterbury, joins the firm’s employment team where he advises employers and employees on employment law issues including whistle-blowing, dismissals, discrimination, contract disputes, redundancy and business transfers.

The author of widely-published articles on employment law, he is a member of the Employment Lawyers’ Association, the Law Society, the Bar Council and The Inner Temple.

He commented: “Being at the client-facing end of the legal profession is what I find the most challenging. It’s where I feel I can make a difference.”

A pupil at Tonbridge’s Judd School, Tom graduated from Manchester University with 2:1 in history and philosophy before attending London’s BPP Law School for his post-graduate diploma in law, and bar vocational course. Prior to accepting the Furley Page appointment, he was an employment lawyer in the London office of a leading national legal firm.

Andrew Masters, partner and head of employment, said: “Tom is a highly-regarded and valuable addition to the team and joins the firm at a significant time of expansion.”

In his spare time Tom studies languages and enjoys running and cooking.
