Niall McMullan

Mr McMullan, who joins from another commercial law firm in Belfast, brings over 14 years’ experience in employment law.

Since qualifying as a solicitor in 2008, he has advised both employees and employers, including public, private and third sector organisations, in contentious and non-contentious areas of employment law.

He has pursued Industrial Tribunal claims on behalf of claimants in relation to unfair dismissal and various grounds of discrimination, and represented respondent clients in defending Industrial Tribunal cases, including local authorities, colleges and commercial organisations such as call centres, nursing homes, charities and retail outlets.

He has also provided employment law support to the commercial department in respect of TUPE transactions, due diligence process, mergers and acquisitions.

Mr McMullan said: “I see my role as an employment solicitor, whether representing the employer or employee, as seeking to resolve a dispute, which can often be deep-rooted and fundamental.

“It is identifying options to provide resolution that I not only find challenging, but rewarding. This, and obtaining good results for my client, gives me job satisfaction.”
