About our guest speaker

Simon co-founded Robinson Ralph with his wife, Juliet, after deciding that there had to be a better way to do employment law – one that was sharper, faster, more personal and a lot less corporate.

A straight-talking Northern Irishman with over two decades of experience in employment law, Simon is known for cutting through the legal waffle and getting to the point. As the firm’s legal lead, Simon represents clients across the UK in all aspects of employment law, from complex tribunal cases to high-stakes strategic advice. He’s built a reputation for being tough when it counts, but always human and for making clients laugh, even when things are tricky.

Simon’s style is anything but traditional. He doesn’t believe in suits for the sake of it, and he’s never knowingly delivered a dull training session. His sessions are high-energy, practical and full of real talk. When he’s not working, as a lifelong Manchester United supporter, Simon can usually be found either at Old Trafford with his son or being forced to listen to Taylor Swift by his daughter and occasionally both in the same day.
