Colleague Spotlight
Kirstie Beattie, Senior Employment Solicitor
Glasgow
Kirstie developed a keen interest in employment law early on in her degree and attended Law At Work (now WorkNest) as a work experience student whilst at university.
After graduating with a first class Honours and writing a dissertation on Shared Parental Leave, Kirstie officially joined us as a trainee solicitor back in 2015. During her traineeship, Kirstie gained a wealth of experience in dealing with clients across various sectors and was responsible for a number of Employment Tribunals involving unfair dismissal, race discrimination and TUPE.
Kirstie stuck around after her traineeship and has developed a keen interest in large-scale transactions involving TUPE and collective consultation, as well as complex discrimination cases. In August 2019, she was promoted to the role of Senior Employment Solicitor to reflect her contribution to the team so far.

Client stories
“
Our relationship with WorkNest is more like a supportive partnership. They treat us like peers, and yet provide extraordinary support whenever we need it. Whether it is about the challenges of working through a pandemic or building a new HR strategy, the people at WorkNest have been kind, holding our hand when that was needed (and it was!) and skilled
experts, providing guidance as we required it. We would not have managed through this last period without them, and I look forward to more of this cooperation ahead.”
