My role

Advisor on all aspects of HR and employment law.

My experience

I joined Anthony Collins Solicitors in March 2018 having practised in an international law firm since qualification where I represented clients in the healthcare, retail and hospitality sectors. I have experience of advising on all aspects of employment law including restructure and redundancies, TUPE, terms and conditions of employment, HR policies and procedures and termination of employment. I also assist clients in defending employment tribunal proceedings, in particular, unfair dismissal and discrimination claims.

‘Hannah Bollard has become our main legal adviser and our team has developed a trusting relationship with her. Having key contacts means they get to understand our overall business challenges in more detail and therefore can help us manage not just individual cases but also any potential wider implications for us. Hannah is highly skilled and extremely clear in her advice helping us to manage risks effectively’ Legal 500, 2023

My specialisms

Contracts of employment
Employee relations issues - including internal investigations, grievance, bullying, harassment and disciplinary hearings
Complex discrimination issues and whistleblowing claims
HR policies and procedures
