Jenny Andrews

Jenny has carved out a reputation for providing straightforward, solution-driven and commercial advice on a range of partnership and employment issues (including, on employment-related data protection issues).

Jenny is recognised as a "Rising Star" in Legal 500 (Employment – Employers and Senior Executives) 2020 and is described as "absolutely brilliant" and a "real rising star". 

In addition to a full-service advisory practice, handling day-to-day employment and partnership queries (including on the appointment, retention and exit management of senior employees/partners), Jenny advises on the employment aspects of a broad spectrum of transactional matters, such as domestic and cross-border share and business acquisitions and disposals, outsourcings and real estate transactions. Her contentious experience includes handling litigation in both the Employment Tribunal and High Court, such as high value whistleblowing and discrimination claims and claims seeking injunctive relief (for example, relating to the enforcement of restrictive covenants and misuse of confidential information). 

Jenny advises clients across a range of sectors, with a specific focus on those within the professional and financial services sector (including for firms incorporating an LLP or partnership within their structure) and the energy sector. Jenny has a particular interest in and is regularly involved in advising clients on internal investigations in the financial services sector. 

Jenny works closely with colleagues and local counsel overseas to deliver advice on cross-border projects. She has previously spent time working in the firm’s employment team in Paris.
