“Saskia’s role is to help the team deliver projects effectively and efficiently, and support the SLT”

Saskia previously worked in marketing, first as a PR Manager for a small graphic design firm, and then as an Account Manager at a digital agency.

She developed her project and account management skills in this industry, but wanted a role with a more human focus, which is what brought her to ibex gale.

She has both a BA and MA in English and literature is her first love, so outside work she can be found perusing the aisles of her local bookshop.

“Liz has extensive experience and knowledge of the health sector both in terms of the clinical and administrative landscapes within Hospital, University and Health Trusts”

Liz is a barrister at Guildhall Chambers specialising in Employment and Discrimination work and has been an associate consultant with ibex gale since 2019.  In her time at the bar she has been counsel instructed to represent claimants and respondents in the Employment Tribunal, the Appeal Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and the High Court.  

Over many years she has been instructed in complex cases ranging from the most serious allegations of discrimination, constructive unfair dismissal, whistleblowing and equal pay claims through to technically demanding cases covering TUPE and large-scale redundancy.

Liz has a deep knowledge of  County, City and Borough Councils, having represented them across the full range of employment law matters and having carried out independent investigations within the sector.   Similarly in the Secondary, FE and Higher Education sector Liz has appeared for Claimants and Respondents in sensitive, high value and complex cases and worked as an independent investigator across a range of matters in schools. Liz has worked in the  health, arts, media, construction and banking sector carrying out complex investigations with ibex gale.

As an independent investigator she has worked regularly and directly with board level personnel as well as marshalling and managing evidence from operational level employees. Liz’s ability to work with real attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture reflect her years of experience preparing for forensic cross examination of witnesses during trial.

She is also an accredited mediator and her abilities in that regard are reflected in her careful and successful pre-trial negotiations, securing lasting settlements and repeated instructions from solicitors and commercial clients.  Liz is an Assistant Chief Examiner at the Bar Standards Board which is the regulatory and examining body for barristers.
