LAW firm Thursfields has added two new lawyers to its employment team, which works with SME employers providing HR and employment law advice.

Senior associate Jayne Holliday has joined from Talbots bringing with her more than 20 years’ experience working with Black Country employers covering a variety of industry sectors. Solicitor Lisa Kemp also joins the team from MFG solicitors. Miss Kemp has a commercial approach and adds a wealth of experience acting for both claimants and employers.

Head of the employment team Michelle Chamberlain: “It is a pleasure to welcome Jayne and Lisa to Thursfields. Employers want skilled advisers who can give pragmatic and timely guidance on workplace issues in support of their business. The new hires within our employment team support the overall development of our Commercial Services which has achieved significant growth in this financial year.”

Recent client wins for the Thursfields team includes Fenmarc Produce Limited, based in East Anglia, which is one of the UK’s leading prepared fresh produce manufacturers supplying major retailers.
