Summary

  • Ward Hadaway has hired Helen Badger and Gemma Lynch as partners, bolstering its healthcare employment practice from its Newcastle base.
  • The two join from Browne Jacobson and bring experience advising NHS trusts, independent healthcare providers and health tech businesses across England and Wales.
  • Helen Badger focuses on complex employment disputes, workforce strategy and high-value litigation, while Gemma Lynch advises on service redesign, organisational change and multi-organisation healthcare employment issues.
  • The hires come as healthcare employers face workforce pressure, workplace risk and changing care-delivery models, areas Ward Hadaway says are driving demand for senior, sector-specific legal advice.
