His arrival marks a significant milestone as we respond to increasing demand for specialist employment advice in the market, enhancing its established employment capabilities and reintroducing dedicated partner level leadership to the jurisdiction.

Nick leads our employment practice in Bermuda and brings more than 17 years of experience advising on the full spectrum of employment issues. He is a trusted advisor to in-house lawyers, HR teams and C-Suite leaders. His expertise traverses the complete employment spectrum, with a particular focus on senior-level exits, reorganisations and complex grievances, including sensitive matters involving discrimination and whistleblowing. He is also highly experienced in dealing with internal investigations and high-profile employment litigation where reputational stakes are high.  

Nick is known for his calm and commercial approach. He focuses on clear, solution-led advice and building strong working relationships. Clients describe him as ‘an absolute pleasure to work with’ and praise his ‘calm and considered advice’ and ‘comprehensive solutions’ that meet their needs.  

Kevin Taylor, Bermuda office managing partner, commented: 'We are delighted to welcome Nick to the firm. With longstanding expertise in both contentious and noncontentious matters, he brings the insights needed to advance our employment practice here in Bermuda.'  
  
Nick said: 'I am thrilled to join Walkers at such an exciting time for the firm. Bermuda’s employment landscape continues to evolve and organisations are seeking clear and commercially focused guidance more than ever. I look forward to supporting clients in navigating their workplace challenges and contributing to Walkers’ continued success in the jurisdiction.'  

Before joining Walkers, Nick was a partner and Head of Employment at Shoosmiths LLP in Birmingham in the UK, where he was consistently recognised by Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners UK. He holds an LLB from the College of Law in Birmingham and a First Class BA in International History and International Politics from Keele University.  

We have advised on a wide range of workplace matters in Bermuda for many years; Nick’s appointment reflects the firm’s commitment to deepening this capability. This comes at a time when demand from institutional and C-Suite clients has been considerable, underscoring the importance of specialist leadership to support the continued growth of the practice.
