Our Story

Following on from completing his law degree and post-graduate qualifications, Andrew decided to specialise in Employment Law and now has over 9 years of experience in both contentious and non-contentious employment issues. Since joining CoLaw in 2014, Andrew has successfully represented many clients in Employment Tribunal claims which has resulted in employers seeing the benefit of having services like ours at CoLaw in place. When he takes off his legal hat, Andrew is always spending time with his family (which does involve the odd trip to Peppa Pig World).

Kickstarting her career off in an internal core HR role in a law firm, Sian moved to CoLaw in 2017 and completed her CIPD. Sian’s knowledge and experience has expanded greatly which resulted in a promotion to Senior HR & Employment Law Consultant in 2020. Sian very much considers herself a ‘people person’ and advising clients on employee relations comes naturally to her. When not talking all things HR and Employment Law, Sian enjoys travelling to Italy and outdoor activities, especially ones that can include her dog Luna.

Nadia who has been part of the CoLaw family for 9 years, has re-joined us after taking some time out to focus on her small children. With over 15 years’ experience working as a HR Manager and now as a HR & Employment Law Consultant, Nadia’s background is very much a hands-on approach within all areas of HR. Nadia has worked very closely with all levels of management, providing tailored advice, support and coaching. Her strength’s include helping Clients achieve their vision by providing a step by step approach on all employment law and employee relation issues, as well as the implementation of HR policy and procedures. As an all-rounder person, Nadia enjoys many things in life from visiting different cultures and going to concerts to simply catching up with friends over a coffee and going for long runs, whether rain or shine to blow the cobwebs away!

Steve is a Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and comes with a wealth of experience. Previously working at senior level for major UK, European and American companies including the aerospace and pharmaceutical industries, his experience in Employment Law and HR has provided him with the essential knowledge to pass onto and benefit clients. Steve established CoLaw in 2002 and has not looked back since. When he takes a break from doing what he does best, you will usually find him travelling or getting involved in his favourite activity – pilates!

Rebecca joined CoLaw in 2017 as a HR Administrator. She holds a first-class degree in Forensic Science. The skills she has obtained from this degree and brief stint working in the forensic sector means that she is an expert task juggler and super organised with meticulous attention to detail. This comes in extremely handy when she is reviewing and updating clients’ handbooks and contracts of employment (or covering up a murder scene!). When she is not babysitting the Consultants, Rebecca enjoys spending time with her family, reading, baking (greatly appreciated by the office!), yoga and dancing.

Catherine has 19 years’ of experience in working in HR and Employment Law. She started her HR career within hospitality as a PA but quickly realised she had a passion for advising and guiding managers in the field of HR and changed the direction of her career and is now a successful HR and Employment Law Consultant with the ability to advise a wide range of employers from a variety of businesses and organisations. When not working hard advising clients, Catherine loves spending time with her family, visiting the cinema and theatre and going out on long country walks.
