BDBF is delighted to announce that Clare Brereton has joined the firm’s partnership. Clare will become the firm’s sixth partner, effective 1 April 2023.

Clare joined BDBF five years ago and focuses her practice on matters involving whistleblowing, stress at work, PHI and disability discrimination in addition to the full range of employment matters.

Clare has been a key member of the teams that have delivered some of the firm’s most notable victories in recent years, including Queensgate v Millet, Moore v Phoenix, and Jones v JP Morgan.

BDBF has been top-ranked by the leading independent directories for acting for senior executives for almost all of its ten years. BDBF also has a growing practice representing employers with their high stakes and high-value employment work.

Gareth Brahams, Managing Partner of BDBF said, “We are delighted to have Clare joining the partnership. She has a phenomenal track record of winning cases and does it the BDBF way – fearless, focused, creative and diligent whilst always maintaining her poise and good humour with clients and opponents. She is also capable of being a pragmatic deal-maker, when called for.

We are proud to have supported her journey to Partner, and as BDBF marks its tenth year, Clare’s promotion represents the next chapter for the firm and underlines the strength and depth of talent we have here.

Clare Brereton said, “I am delighted to be joining the partnership. Since joining the firm as an associate five years ago I have had the opportunity to represent clients in some fascinating and ground-breaking cases alongside brilliant colleagues. I am looking forward to this next step in both my and BDBF’s journey and to working with the BDBF team to achieve more successes for clients in the future.”
