Expert in: Mediation Services Workplace Investigations Supporting Organisations
Kim At Work
Kim is an experienced independent investigator and accredited workplace and employment mediator with 30 years’ experience as a senior employment lawyer, specialising in public sector work, before joining Resolution at Work in 2022.
Kim worked as a senior employment lawyer for Eversheds and Geldards, based in Cardiff, where she was a Partner from 2001 to 2021. During that time Kim dealt with the full range of complex employment matters focussing on different specialisms from business transfers, restructures, complex disciplinary and grievance cases, and tribunal claims.
However, Kim was best known for her expertise in “equal pay” and the design, negotiation and implementation of equality proofed pay structures. She lead an All-Wales consortium of Local Authorities in the resolution of mass / multi-million pound equal pay litigation and the design, negotiation and implementation of new pay and grading structures, all of which was resolved without a single industrial dispute.
In recent years Kim also specialised in complex workplace and governance investigations, particularly for public bodies. Kim draws on her understanding of the complexities and uncertainties that litigation entails, to enthuse clients to embrace the opportunity to explore alternative dispute resolution opportunities and help them achieve solutions to workplace issues that strengthen rather than undermine.
Kim’s legal skills, as well as her strategic and analytic approach to the resolution of issues, ability to think “outside the box” and adopt a sheer common-sense approach, have gained her a reputation for sound judgement and being a safe and trusted ally.
