Gareth Brahams is the employment lawyer who in 2010 was responsible for launching a practice at litigation boutique Stewarts Law.

In one year alone the talented employment lawyer, who is the current chair of the Employment Lawyers Association's training and management committee, handled two cases listed for five-week trials facing magic circle opponents. Last year he went on to beat Allen & Overy in Beck v Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, winning both the main hearing and three appeals.

From a standing start in May 2010 Brahams now heads what will, as of January 2012, constitute a team of three partners and eight other fee-earners. It is particularly impressive growth in what is widely regarded as a contracting market for employment lawyers. The team is expected to grow again significantly this year.
