Employment law specialist Jon Dyson is celebrating 25 years service at legal practice Wilkinson Woodward Norcliffe & Co.
Mr Dyson graduated from Durham University in 1981 before beginning his legal career at Hall & Norton in Huddersfield.
In March, 1990, he joined Halifax-based Wilkinson Woodward, initially handling a mix of legal casework. With a keen interest in employment law issues, by the mid-1990s Jon had set up the firm’s employment law department and has specialised in employment law matters for the past 20 years.
In 1992, he became a partner and was appointed as a director when the practice incorporated following a merger with Huddersfield-based Norcliffe & Co in 2012.
Mr Dyson’s many career highlights include a successful sex discrimination case against BT in which an employee was awarded £293,000.
Mr Dyson, 55, deals with all aspects of employment law, including negotiating severance packages on behalf of employees, disputes relating to shareholders’ rights, unfair prejudice and confidential information. He has a particular interest and expertise in discrimination cases.
Mr Dyson also has overall responsibility for marketing at Wilkinson Woodward Norcliffe & Co, whose offices are on Queen Street in the town centre.
Managing director Maureen Cawthorn said: “Jon lends a wealth of experience in employment law matters to the team. His reputation in handling issues of discrimination has been built over many years of successful cases. We’re delighted to be marking his 25th year at Wilkinson Woodward Norcliffe & Co.”
A keen tennis player and Huddersfield Town season ticket holder, Mr Dyson has two children and lives near Golcar.
