HFW hires Michelle Chance to lead London employment practice
UK firm HFW has hired Michelle Chance to lead the firm's London employment practice. She previously worked at Memery Crystal as the head of contentious employment.
Chance joins as a partner, bringing with her 20 years of experience across a range of employment matters, including class action discrimination claims, sexual harassment, whistleblowing, internal investigations and bonus disputes. She advises clients across HFW's core sectors – insurance, shipping and energy – as well as the media, professional and financial services industries. She will work alongside HFW's general counsel Neil Adams and the rest of the firm's employment team.
Prior to Memery Crystal, Chance was head of employment at Rosenblatt and Womble Bond Dickinson, as well as a partner at Kingsley Napley. She also co-founded the Association of Professional Working Parents, where she spent more than six years.
Chance said: "HFW has a great reputation for complex, high-value disputes, and particularly for High Court litigation, which makes it an excellent platform to build and develop a dedicated employment practice."
