John Hassells, head of employment law at Bolton-based solicitors KBL has been promoted to Partner.

John has specialised in employment law since 2002. He joined KBL in 2007, moving from Manchester city-centre firm Hill Dickinson. He heads up the growing employment team at a time when businesses and employees have more of a need for expert legal advice than ever. John says: “Employment law is a growing area and KBL recognises that. The legal issues surrounding employment are constantly being updated and many employers and employees find themselves in situations when they need legal advice.”

The employment team at KBL deal with issues such as employment tribunal claims, contract disputes, business transfers and drafting employment documents, to name but a few.

Phil Stephenson, managing partner at KBL says: “John is a great ambassador for the firm and fully deserves his promotion. He gives exactly the kind of robust practical advice that our clients need from an employment lawyer in these difficult times and it’s no wonder they appreciate his help and are happy to recommend him.”
