Specialist law firm Michael Cummins Employment Solicitors has welcomed Sarina Mahal as its new senior associate.
The solicitor has joined the Leicestershire-based legal firm which provides employers with advice and representation on all aspects of employment law.
Sarina started her career in HR at Boots and British Gypsum before training as a lawyer at Eversheds. Whilst with Eversheds Sutherland’s Employment Group, Sarina worked in Birmingham, London, Nottingham and Dubai.
During her time with Eversheds, Sarina worked with partners and the wider teams to manage contentious, non-contentious and international matters for FTSE and Fortune 500 companies as well as start-ups and owner-managed businesses.
The fitness enthusiast then enjoyed a short family career break with her husband and two young children before joining Michael Cummins Employment Solicitors.
Sarina said: “I am privileged to be part of this exciting new collaborative team as it grows from strength to strength.
“Michael has a friendly and forward-thinking approach, and really does knows how to create a motivated environment, promoting true flexibility and autonomy.”
Michael Cummins launched his new legal firm one year ago and quickly recruited Fabienne McAllister as its first new partner. Both Sarina and Fabienne are bilingual – Sarina is fluent in Punjabi and Fabienne in French.
Michael said: “We are very happy to have attracted such a talented solicitor as Sarina. Her time as a HR professional early in her career is also a big advantage.
“It has helped her have a real understanding of client needs and the importance of providing pragmatic, commercial legal advice.
“As we continue to grow our business, working with more and more employers across the region and beyond, we are keen to hear from like-minded lawyers keen to develop in their own careers.”
