Leeds law firm Ward Hadaway has appointed Helen Badger and Gemma Lynch as partners, strengthening its employment law work with NHS trusts, independent healthcare providers and health tech businesses.
Helen and Gemma join from Browne Jacobson, where they advised clients across England and Wales. Their arrival comes as the NHS and wider healthcare sector continue to manage a range of issues, including staffing pressure, workplace risk and new operating models.
Helen advises public and independent healthcare bodies and has particular expertise in supporting her clients to manage complex employment issues. She regularly works at Board level to help develop workforce strategy and respond to challenging situations, including complex and high value litigation. Gemma has extensive experience representing healthcare clients in complex employment tribunal claims and advises on employment issues linked to service redesign, organisational change and group and collaborative operating models.
Harmajinder Hayre, head of employment at Ward Hadaway, said: “The NHS is the country’s largest employer. The workforce challenges facing trusts and providers are significant, and the healthcare sector are seeking pragmatic, solutions-focused and cost-conscious advice.
“These appointments strengthen our ability to support healthcare employers on issues that are often complex, sensitive and closely tied to service delivery.
“Helen and Gemma bring senior expertise in areas where clients need advisers who understand the sector, the pace at which decisions have to be made and the pressures leadership teams are working under.”
Helen has particular expertise in navigating complex and sensitive employee relations issues, with a focus on maintaining psychological safety of impacted employees, reflecting the growing scrutiny on how employers protect their people while maintaining services.
She said: “Healthcare employers are making decisions that can carry legal, operational and reputational risk, often in pressured circumstances.
“That calls for advisers who understand how NHS and independent providers operate and who can take account of the realities of staffing, safety, culture and delivery.
“Joining Ward Hadaway gives me the chance to continue that work within a national employment practice with a strong and growing healthcare specialism.”
Gemma’s focus is the employment law impact of change across the healthcare system, including group and collaborative operating models.
She said: “NHS bodies are being asked to work differently, which can create difficult employment questions, particularly where staff, leadership structures and consultation duties span more than one organisation."
“My work focuses on helping employers manage those changes in a way that is not only legally sound but is practical and workable for employers, and I'm looking forward to building on that at Ward Hadaway.”
Helen and Gemma join Ward Hadaway’s highly regarded employment team, which also includes healthcare specialists partner Caroline Shafar and directors James English and Mark McKeever. They are part of the firm's wider healthcare team, providing legal services including procurement, PFI, estates management, regulatory, inquests, investigations and COP work.
Managing partner Steven Petrie said: “Helen and Gemma’s arrival reflects the continued growth of Ward Hadaway and our investment in areas where clients need senior legal expertise.
“Healthcare is an important part of our national practice. These hires broaden our employment law capability for NHS and independent healthcare providers.
“They also support our wider strategy of building specialist teams with the sector knowledge and experience clients need across England and Wales.”

The awards aim to highlight work across Yorkshire to support members of the community who face additional barriers when accessing public services and employment, or simply enjoying daily life. This can be due to a range of factors, including race, neurodiversity, disability, sexuality, and gender identity.
Recipients included Lisa Riley MBE (pictured), who won Public Figure of the Year. For her, the win was an opportunity to reinforce the need for strong allyship for the LGBTQ+ community: “I’m so incredibly proud and humbled to have won this phenomenal award. I want to be at the front of the queue as the biggest cheerleader for LGBTQ+ and diverse communities and I'm with them every step of the way. My pom poms are forever at the ready!”
The Lifetime Achievement award went to Dr Agam Jung, who spoke of her care for MND patients - including rugby legend Rob Burrow - and Beeston’s Women’s Whispers received Yorkshire Community Organisation of the Year.
The awards were founded by Leeds’ Jane Clynes and LGBTQ+ ambassador Matt Jameson, who shot to fame as part of Married at First Sight’s first same sex couple. He said: "The Pride in Diversity Awards are an amazing way to recognise and celebrate people working hard in our communities to uplift others and remove barriers to activities and services. It's important that we stand against the harmful rhetoric that’s so prevalent in today's media, holding each other up and showing solidarity. We’re building a real community and will be offering everyone involved the chance to network and collaborate again before the next awards, so follow us on Instagram @prideindiversityawards for updates!"
Last year’s awards raised £1,700 for LGBTQ+ social inclusion charity Out Together, and this year’s raised £3,000 for Getting Clean, a Community Interest Company which brings together people recovering from addiction and is best known for its “Soap with Hope” programme.
This year’s charity will be The Henry Grierson ADHD & Mental Health Foundation, based in Huddersfield, which aims to break the link between ADHD and suicide through education, campaigning and support for young people and families.

The hires follow a period of growth in work from education providers which has increased by approximately 40% in the last year.
Emma joins as an education law partner and supports MATs, independent schools, FE colleges and Diocesan Boards on academy expansions, mergers and acquisitions, governance, pastoral and commercial matters.
Jill is an employment and education partner who works with multi-academy trusts and schools of all kinds, colleges and universities on people related matters including staffing matters, parental complaints, student related policies, exclusions and SEND issues.
Together, they add senior capability and capacity across complementary areas of Ward Hadaway’s education practice – commercial, education and employment law.
Graham Vials, hHead of education said: “Our growth reflects the range of issues now facing leadership teams in education.
“They need trusted advisers who understand the pressure on budgets, governance and day-to-day management and can respond quickly when sensitive issues arise.
“Emma and Jill add key strengths that enable us to sustain the partner-led service we provide and enhance the team’s ability to support clients across both day-to-day issues and more complex matters.”
Emma brings more than 20 years’ experience advising organisations across many aspects of education law, including Ofsted challenges, EHCP placement issues, exclusion appeal panels, policy audits, parental complaints, independent school parent contracts and governance reviews.
Emma said: “Independent schools and trusts are managing more strategic commercial arrangements, particularly where services and governance are organised across charitable structures and faith-based networks.
“It’s about understanding how decisions affect their operations, obligations to pupils and staff, and financial pressures.
“Ward Hadaway has a strong national education practice, and I’m looking forward to continuing to work with clients in partnership. I am delighted to be a key part of a forward thinking and innovative team that is committed to the education sector.”
Jill builds on the department’s employment expertise in the education sector, particularly around sector specific working arrangements, collective issues, safeguarding, regulatory referrals and complex claims. She also further strengthens the department's capacity and expertise in student related issues such as exclusions, (often including risks of discrimination), EHCPs and SENDIST claims.
Jill said: “Education providers need advisers who are responsive, pragmatic and used to working with senior leaders under pressure. Much of the work in this sector is sensitive and time-critical, so it’s important to enable organisations to make decisions with confidence.
“Ward Hadaway’s education practice has real breadth, and my new role gives me the opportunity to bring my experience into a wider team advising trusts, independent and maintained schools and colleges across the country.”
Their appointments follow the recent promotion of employment specialist Tom Shears to partner, adding further weight to the education team.
Managing partner Steven Petrie said: “Emma and Jill’s arrival reflects the continued growth of Ward Hadaway and our investment in areas where clients need strategic, sector-specific expertise.
“The education practice has become an increasingly important part of our national offering, with increasing demand from providers across a wider range of issues.
“These hires add further depth across commercial and employment services and support our wider strategy of building specialist teams with the sector experience clients need.”
