Following the exciting news that we have been recognised by The Times as one of the country’s top 250 law firms we’d like to share more about our teams that make Thackray Williams a great place to work. 

In the first of our ‘meet the team’ series we would like to introduce our Employment team. 

The team is headed by Co-Managing Partner, Emma Thompson, who has been with the firm over 15 years since completing her training contract with Thackray Williams. The rest of the Employment team is made up of: Megan O’Hara, recently ranked in the 2027 Chambers guide and based in our Sevenoaks office, Lydia Button, who completed her training contract with Thackray Williams and is currently building a specialist practise in neurodiversity discrimination, and recent joiners, Alexandra Hubbard, a dual qualified Solicitor in the UK and US, and Emily Beech, a newly qualified Solicitor. The team are assisted by Trainee Solicitors, George Newton and James Lopes and Paralegal, Jennifer Scoates. 

We recently spoke to the team about their time at Thackray Williams getting an insight to why they wanted to work for Thackray Williams and what makes it different from other firms, along with their career highlights and why they enjoy working here. First up is Partner, Megan O’Hara.
