Laurence Dunn
Director
Laurence was admitted as a solicitor in 1986 and has specialised in employment law since. He joined local firm White and Bowker in 1984 (then known as White, Brooks and Gilman), going on to become an equity partner there in 1992. He subsequently headed up their Commercial Litigation department as well as being Head of the Employment Team. He joined Warner Goodman Commercial as a partner in 2006 before founding DC Employment Solicitors in 2008.
Laurence deals with contentious and non-contentious matters and is particularly experienced in high value or complex claims (bringing or defending actions). Dealing with discrimination and whistleblowing claims is a speciality. Laurence is renowned for being a tenacious and creative lawyer who always seeks to achieve the outcomes his clients require, using his considerable experience of dispute resolution strategies, including mediating disputes for clients.
Laurence is a member of the Employment Lawyers Association and regularly presents seminars and workshops to clients.
He is a ‘serious’ cyclist in his spare time and frequently takes part in overseas bike challenge events. He also has a weakness for classic cars which he describes as an ‘investment’ (and if that is defined as ‘haemorrhaging money on spare parts and petrol’, then they certainly fall squarely in that category). He has an interest in what he calls ‘world music’, opera (what some call the ‘challenging’ end of the music spectrum) and theatre.
He has also (since 2013) served as a very active Trustee of the Asthma, Allergy and Inflammation Research charity, which directly supports the scientific researchers based at the University of Southampton’s world-leading asthma research facility.
