Already well regarded for her technical expertise and bold, empathetic approach, she embodies the firm’s approachable expert ethos and passion for the trade union movement. Many congratulations to Alice on this professional milestone. We look forward to seeing her career go from strength to strength with us.”

Ms Bowman added: “I am delighted to have been offered this promotion by Allan McDougall Solicitors. Since joining the firm two years ago, I have been able to focus my career to support trade unions and their members in achieving justice in the employment tribunal.

“Allan McDougall Solicitors have been trade union lawyers for the best part of a century, and I have valued the ability to develop my legal skills and expertise in a firm with which I have a shared ethos and vision. Moving forward, I would like to continue to work in collaboration with the union movement to identify how legal and strategic approaches can operate together to bring about real change and promote equality for all.”
