Legal director Victoria Jackson has joined the Kendal office of employment law specialist AfterAthena.

The appointment supports the firm’s growth strategy, particularly across Cumbria and the wider north-west region.

Ms Jackson will work alongside partners Angela Barnes and Jamie Allison to deliver employment law services, with a focus on a growing number of employment tribunal matters.

Oli McCann, partner and head of employment at AfterAthena, said: “The success of our ongoing strategy to grow our client base in Cumbria and the wider north west of England depends on the quality of our people behind it and Victoria’s great experience and presence in Cumbria across to Yorkshire means she will play an essential role in the delivery of that initiative.”

Ms Jackson brings 16 years of experience from Clarion, a Leeds-based law firm.

She specialises in workplace investigations, disciplinary and grievance procedures, organisational change, and employee relations.

Her appointment follows those of Sonia Hanson as business development manager and Denise Finlay, who brings 27 years of experience in sales and business development.
