Aimee Friend

Aimee Friend is an Associate in the International Employment Group who qualified in 2025. Her primary practice area is Employment Law, and she brings a unique commercial perspective to her practice from her previous career as a recruitment consultant within the private equity sector.

She specialises in employment law, helping businesses navigate the full spectrum of workplace legal issues with practical, commercially-minded advice.

Her background in recruitment consulting gives her a distinct advantage in understanding the real-world challenges employers face when managing their workforce. She has seen first-hand how critical workforce decisions are to business success and brings that commercial awareness to every matter she handles, understanding not just the law but the business context in which it operates.

She believes the key to a successful client relationship is clear communication, responsiveness and a genuine understanding of what matters to the business, and prides herself on being proactive and accessible to ensure clients feel supported throughout every stage of a matter.

She is particularly drawn to employment claims and tribunal work, where she can combine legal analysis with practical problem-solving to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients. She graduated from the University of Exeter in 2019 with a first-class law degree.
