Jo Keddie named The Times Lawyer of the Week

Jo Keddie, Forsters’ Head of Employment and Partnerships, has been named The Times Lawyer of the Week.
Jo was selected for her success in a landmark Employment Tribunal case that secured a significant award of compensation for our client and, importantly, recognition of the lasting impact that discrimination and unfair dismissal can have on an individual’s career.
The judgment is notable for its detailed consideration of stigma damages, a rarely explored aspect of employment law that compensates individuals for reputational harm and career disruption arising from litigation.
The feature explores the case, as well as some of the highlights from Jo’s exceptional career in employment law.
