Direct Access Barrister

Ryan Ross

I have a specialist practice in employment and regulatory law. I offer drafting and advisory services, plus representation in appropriate cases. I also advise on partnership and shareholder disputes, in addition to restrictive covenants, bonus entitlements and settlement/confidentiality agreements.

Area of Law

Employment and Pensions

I maintain a broad employment practice, acting for both Claimants and Respondents.

I have recent experience of claims for unfair and constructive dismissal; redundancy; discrimination, harassment and victimisation; unlawful deduction of wages and breach of contract; and detriment arising from health and safety breaches, particularly in the context of Covid-19.

I am regularly instructed at the early stages of proceedings to assist with drafting and providing advice on merits. My drafting experience includes: ET1s/Particulars of Claim; Further and Better Particulars; Schedules of Loss; ET3s/Grounds of Resistance; Notices/Grounds of Appeal to the Employment Appeal Tribunal.

Increasingly, I am instructed to act for regulated professionals, typically within the legal, financial and medical sectors.

Partnership and Joint Ventures

I regularly advise employees with the commercial aspects of their work, including partnership and shareholder disputes, in addition to matters arising restrictive covenants, bonus entitlements and settlement/confidentiality agreements.

Professional Discipline

I am regularly instructed in lengthy and complex hearings, typically before healthcare regulators. I can advise on merits and strategy, and I can act before regulators in appropriate cases. My experience includes serious allegations of sexual wrongdoing, dishonesty and fraud.
