Damian McCarthy is an experienced employment law specialist

Damian possesses “all the gears” adopting an aggressive or a more charming approach as the case demands. He is uncompromising and fights hard to get the results needed.

Damian is regularly instructed on high profile whistleblowing and discrimination cases, many involving large sums of money or difficult issues, and consequently he has a number of well-known clients. He advised and acted for Moira Stuart in the high profile case involving her dispute with the BBC and has more recently acted for a number of high profile whistleblowers.

He is popular with clients for achieving outstanding results and has a client focused approach. Damian knows how to get the result needed by the client, and can get to the heart of a case very quickly in order to focus on the central parts of a claim to save time and costs. Damian is especially popular with clients involved in whistleblowing claims, complex claims of discrimination, dismissal claims, bullying and harassment claims, stress at work claims as well as other complex areas of employment law.

“Very strong tactical acumen, coupled with a skilful and no nonsense style and a highly client focussed approach.”
