Gerry O'Hare, Legal Director

Edinburgh

Gerry completed an M.A. before setting off travelling to find his calling in life, which turned out to be a love of photography. In order to fund this expensive hobby, he returned to university to study Law and, following his traineeship, joined the Law At Work (now WorkNest) team in 2009. 

His people and analytical skills work well in the world of employment law, and WorkNest’s innovative business model allows him to build strong relationships with his clients and provide them with high quality, practical, hands-on advice. 

Gerry specialises in reorganisations, workplace policies, contracts and contentious matters.

“As the company started to get larger, we knew we had to protect our employees and our contractors both onsite and in the offices. WorkNest is exactly what we needed to move the company forward.”
Joanne BeaverOperations Director, Beaverfit
“We moved our legal support to WorkNest (formerly Law at Work) having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest”
