E: michael.wakeling@lodders.co.uk
I was admitted as a solicitor in October 1988 and have over 20 years experience in employment law work. I joined Lodders in 1997 having previously worked for the Imperial Food Group; working in industry gave me a good understanding of business clients and their needs. I am now a partner in Lodders’ Dispute Resolution team and specialise in advising clients on a broad range of commercial and contractual disputes, employment related issues and contentious probate matters. 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 both the Employment Lawyers Association and the Equine Lawyers Association. 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 cycled from Warwick to Paris raising over £3,000 for charity.
