We represented a senior in-house lawyer on secondment from the US to the UK at a global technology firm, earning a seven-figure compensation package. Following a mental health breakdown and their unfair dismissal during long-term sickness absence, we handled complex jurisdictional issues and secured a confidential settlement shortly after filing a disability discrimination claim in the Employment Tribunal, but at an early stage in the litigation. This outcome protected her career and financial security without prolonged tribunal proceedings.

The team of BDBF lawyers acting in this case was Paula Chan and James Hockley.
