The importance of in-house training

At Goughs we believe that providing training on a variety of employments matters is important, not only to foster relationships, but to empower you and your business to function within the law whilst also making your business a great and harmonious place to work.

We lean on our years of experience, both as a business ourselves and having advised and worked with many employers to put a structured training programme in place to suit you.

Rebecca Dennis

I have specialised in employment law for many years. I provide consistent and risk aware advice to employers and employees alike. My experience includes both contentious and non-contentious work. My professional background is unique in that I worked for more than 20 years as a barrister providing legal advice, drafting and advocacy for my clients and more recently provided specialist trouble-shooting services on employment law and employee relations at a leading international HR outsourcing company. I have a reputation as a pragmatist and problem solver. I am now proud to lead the Employment Department at Goughs.
