Marie Brittenden – Personal Biography

Marie was called to the Bar in 1999 and qualified as a solicitor in 2003. She brings a wealth of experience to her current focus on employment law, having previously worked extensively in arbitration, shipping, and international trade law. Her pupillage was in criminal law, further broadening her legal background.

Marie’s passion encompasses all aspects of employment law, with a particular interest in industrial relations, disability, redundancy, and discrimination. She is known for her empathetic approach, taking the time to understand her clients’ unique concerns and needs.  Her clear and concise drafting reflects her wide range of experience across diverse employment scenarios, including the military, equestrian world, agriculture, banking, and shipping.

Having grown up in Gibraltar, Marie is fluent in Spanish and converses comfortably in French and Italian. She is a member of both The Law Society and the Employment Lawyers Association.

Outside of work, Marie shares her love of animals with her husband and two children. The family have a stud in Yorkshire dedicated to breeding Rocky Mountain Horses, a rare American breed of gaited horse, known for their incredible temperament, good looks and smooth four beat gait. She also has more than a passing interest in light aircraft, although these days she is happy to enjoy that vicariously.

Marie can be available for radio interviews and for other media in relation to employment law matters. Contact Charlotte on 0118 208 2007
