3PB is excited to welcome Robin Pickard to its employment and discrimination team
4th November 2024
Employment and discrimination law specialist, Robin Pickard, pictured here, has become a member of chambers and will work from 3PB’s London office.
Robin has a busy practice and regularly appears for claimants and respondents in preliminary and final merits hearings (including open preliminary hearings, e.g., in relation to disability status).
Robin’s recent highlights include a successful appeal before the President of the EAT (in Ballerino v The Racecourse Association Ltd [2024] EAT 98) and securing an award of close to £70,000 in an unfair dismissal claim.
During his pupillage, Robin advised senior executives and other regulated professionals in high-value employment litigation involving discrimination, whistleblowing and misconduct in the workplace. His in-house counsel experience developed his tactical awareness and ability to deal with procedural matters, including whether correspondence is covered by differing forms of legal privilege and making successful applications for specific disclosure (including for pay information in an equal pay complaint). Robin prides himself on his strategic approach and his ability to integrate into legal teams and put his clients at ease.
Robin can also be instructed through the Direct Access Scheme and is happy to discuss potential cases with clients without obligation.
To contact Robin, please email [email protected]. To instruct him, or see about his availability, please contact his clerk Matthew Scanlan via email [email protected] or by telephone on 020 7583 8055.
