Orla Shevlin
"To me the ultimate goal of Law is the fair application of the rules which people have adopted to regulate a free society."
Orla graduated in Law from Queen's University Belfast in 2002. She completed her training at Northumbria University in 2005 and qualified as a solicitor in January 2008. In between her various studies Orla found time to travel extensively, visiting South Africa, Australia and New Zealand and volunteering in Brazil.
Orla gained an excellent foundation in conveyancing, litigation and employment law during her apprenticeship at a highly reputable City Centre firm before joining the Litigation Department in Edwards & Company in January 2008.
Orla specialises in employment law and is a member of the Employment Lawyers Group (NI). She represents both employees and employers from all sectors which would include business, charities and voluntary organisations in relation to unfair dismissal claims, equal pay cases and cases alleging discrimination which can be on the grounds of religious belief/ political opinion, gender, gender orientation, disability, age or race. She also advises on terms and conditions of employment, disciplinary procedures and grievance procedures.
In addition she conducts a large number of personal injury claims, to include Noise Induced Hearing Loss claims, at both County Court and High Court level.
