Joseph is a Partner in our employment team.
An experienced employment lawyer, he handles issues such as discrimination, TUPE, industrial relations, HR, employment tribunals, business transfers, reorganisations, compromise agreements and severance negotiations on behalf of companies and individuals.
Joseph also advises on trade union recognition and disputes, collective consultation rights and obligations during workplace closures and reorganisations.
He has a strong background in both contentious and non-contentious employment work, dealing with high-value cases, complex transfers and direct negotiations with trade unions. He also has a sound understanding of commercial and retail issues and serves as an in-house employment law adviser, one day per week, for a leading national online retailer.
A regular presenter at seminars and workshops on discrimination law, Joseph is classed as a ‘Recommended Lawyer’ by The Legal 500 which notes that he "always goes the extra mile for his clients". Chambers and Partners also notes that he "is very commercially focussed and tough in negotiations".
Joseph’s clients include Cammell Laird Shiprepairers and Shipbuilders, J. D. Wetherspoon Plc and Very Group.
Joseph joined us in 2001 and is based in our Liverpool office.
“Having worked with Brabners for a number of years as a HR Professional across different organisations, I have built trusted relationships within the team. I would like to specifically mention two Brabners partners — Joseph Shelston and Kate Venables — who are clearly role models in their field and a credit to their organisation.”
