Patrick provides an all-round service to a client base consisting mainly of employers based in the South West and around the UK. He regularly advises HR professionals, in-house lawyers, directors and owners of businesses and local authority clients on their day-to-day employment law queries including disciplinaries and dismissals, redundancy exercises, contracts, policies and procedures. He has developed and presents a range of training courses to increase managers’ awareness of critical employment law topics.
Patrick is an experienced advocate in the employment tribunal with an enviable track record of success and believes strongly that clients benefit from the consistency of his practical, hands-on input from dismissal through to the tribunal itself.
Recognised by a top lawyers directory as a “leader in his field” Patrick is a problem solver, who doesn’t hide behind legal jargon or sit on the fence. His clients get fast, accessible responses to everyday issues.
Having worked for seven years with two top 20 London law firms he appreciates that the quality of his advice is paramount but delivers with clients’ costs considerations in mind.
Chambers 2008 commented:
Standing out in the team is department head and tribunal advocate Patrick Howarth, who acts for clients in the arts sector. His workload has seen a fair amount of disability discrimination, TUPE, restructuring and redundancy matters.
Legal 500 2007 commented:
Patrick Howarth ...enjoys the reputation of being a “highly competent professional”. One client asserts that Foot Anstey is “probably the best firm I have dealt with in my career”.
