Gillian MacLellan is a partner in the UK Employment Team working with clients in various sectors across the UK, advising on both contentious employment matters and transactional work; the common thread in both areas is her ability and determination to get a great result for her client. Gillian works regularly with clients in the financial services and energy sectors where her industry experience ensures her advice is well rounded and fit for purpose. Gillian frequently advises clients with a global footprint meaning she has strong experience of the challenges for international employers, both from a compliance and a culture perspective. An area of keen interest for Gillian is supporting on diversity & inclusion and in this space, by way of example, she has worked with employers on global diversity reviews, advised on the roll out of D&I reporting projects and supported employers on complex internal harassment complaints as well as defending discrimination claims before the Employment Tribunal.

Gillian is a regular speaker at conferences and an author for LexisNexis and XpertHR. She also writes monthly for The Herald on issues of interest to employers.
