Navigating Employment Challenges with Confidence

Employment issues are some of the most complex challenges facing both employers and employees today. With Employment Tribunal claims on the rise, businesses must balance strict legal compliance with the need to maintain positive and productive workplaces. At the same time, employees are increasingly aware of their rights and are seeking clear, practical advice when disputes occur.

At Turley Legal, our employment law practice is led by Marie-Claire Logue, Senior Associate, dual-qualified in Northern Ireland and England & Wales. With extensive experience in tribunals, HR advisory work and internal workplace processes, she has practised in Sydney, London, and Belfast within international commercial firms and the NGO legal sector. Marie-Claire brings a unique combination of global insight and local expertise to every client.

Why This Matters for Local Business

Employment law is evolving rapidly — from flexible working, office culture and employee wellbeing, to managing TUPE, mergers and acquisitions. For local businesses, keeping pace can be difficult without expert support. Having a trusted legal partner often makes the difference between navigating issues smoothly and facing costly disputes down the line.

At Turley Legal, our ethos is simple: exceptional service, every client, every lawyer, every time. With Marie-Claire’s expertise, we are proud to support both employers and employees, ensuring that workplace issues are managed with clarity, fairness, and confidence.
