Hilary Winstone

HILARY's PRACTICE AREAS

Hilary's busy practice includes the enjoyment of a number of areas of law, most of which are complementary to each other, despite their differing jurisdictions. These include: all aspects of employment law (including discrimination), personal injury including public liability and road traffic accidents and product liability.

Hilary is very much in demand as a writer and lecturer in all areas relevant to her practice. Hilary enjoys working alongside solicitors in joint education, training and marketing projects aimed at sustaining and improving the client relationship.

Hilary was involved in the design and development of a website project on the workings of the National Minimum Wage Act and Regulations. She also took part in the ACAS/Capital Law training video for prospective participants in Employment Tribunals (available on the ACAS website). She took her newly found addiction to television cameras to HTV, where she has since appeared on a number of occasions as a commentator on employment matters.

Hilary achieved a first class degree at the University of Wales, winning prizes along the way for the best 2nd year student and the Sweet & Maxwell prize for best criminal student - someone had to win it - and went on to talk her way into a 'Very Competent' on the BVC. She was a Sir Thomas More scholar at Lincoln's Inn.

Although Hilary is not a mediator, she has attended advanced mediation courses purely for experience and professional development purposes. She has benefited hugely from her training and has acted for a number of clients, in particular local authority clients, in complex mediation situations which have ultimately been successful. At this time, she has no plans to obtain professional accreditation, preferring to remain at the forefront of the fight on her client's behalf, rather than in the middle.
