BMA committed to HBJ Gateley Wareing

30th July 2010

The new London-based employment team of HBJ Gateley Wareing has been given a major vote of confidence by one of the country’s most prestigious organisations, the British Medical Association (BMA).

The new London team joined the firm after HBJ Gateley Wareing took on more than 40 partners from the former Halliwells business last Tuesday (20 July). HBJ Gateley Wareing is a leading national law firm and has seven UK offices in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leicester, London, Manchester and Nottingham as well as an office in Dubai.

London-based employment partner, Guy Guinan, said: ‘We are pleased that the BMA have given us this positive vote of confidence in our first week of operation at HBJ Gateley Wareing. As one of the world’s leading professional bodies, the BMA are a very important client for the firm and I have been proud to work with them over a number of years.

‘Our full service employment offering here in London is a perfect match for the firm’s overall sector-leading employment team. From the London office we can offer both contentious and non-contentious work, including advisory and transactional support. HBJ Gateley Wareing’s strengthened employment offering can now be accessed through any of our seven UK offices, giving us unrivalled depth of expertise and delivery to the national employment market.’

Guy and his team provide employment tribunal representation to BMA members as well as general advice and representation to the BMA on HR-related matters. The firm also offers BMA members personal injury advice and support.

Jonathan Waters, the BMA’s legal director, said: ‘We have always been impressed with Guy’s work and are delighted that he and his team have joined a major national law firm like HBJ Gateley Wareing. We look forward to continuing our work with Guy and his colleagues.'

Joint senior partner at HBJ Gateley Wareing, Michael Ward said: ‘We are delighted to welcome Guy and his team to the firm. Having an extensive employment offering across all of our offices has always been a major goal of the firm and to have Guy on board means we can extend the excellent reputation we enjoy in the employment market to London. The BMA are a good example of the quality of our client base and we look forward to working with them.'
