E: michael.wakeling@lodders.co.uk
I was admitted as a solicitor in 1988 and have over 30 years’ experience in handling dispute resolution work. I joined Lodders in 1997, having previously worked for the Imperial Food Group. Working in the industry gave me a good understanding of business clients and their needs. I am a partner in Lodders’ Dispute Resolution team and specialise in advising clients on a broad range of commercial disputes and employment related issues. I regularly act for clients both in High Court litigation and Employment Tribunal claims.
My clients tend to be business owners, family businesses and private individuals. I am a member of the Employment Lawyers Association and I also sit on the firm’s business development committee.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy working with clients to find a solution to their dispute in the most expedient and cost-effective way possible.
What gets you out of bed in the morning?
Needing to take the dog for a walk!
Do you have any interesting personal achievements?
I ran the London Marathon in 2005, raising over £5,000 for charity, and in 2008 and 2019, cycled from London to Paris raising similar amounts.
