Edinburgh—Dentons is pleased to announce that UK Employment partner Amanda Jones has been appointed to the panel of judges of Employment Tribunals in Scotland. The Right Honourable Lord Carloway, Lord President of the Court of Session and Lord Justice General – the most senior judge of the Supreme Courts of Scotland and head of the Scottish Judiciary – announced the appointment of 14 new employment judges, including Amanda, earlier this month.

A prominent and well respected employment and discrimination lawyer, Amanda was the first female lawyer in Scotland to be accredited as a specialist in both employment law and discrimination law by the Law Society of Scotland. She regularly appears in the courts and tribunals, including the Supreme Court, where she has instructed Counsel a number of times in the last two years. In addition to her work at Dentons, Amanda is a non-executive director of Hibernian Football Club and the Hibernian Community Foundation, as well as a legal member of the Scottish Football Association (SFA) judicial panel and a member of various committees advising on SFA regulation.

Amanda was appointed to the Scottish panel of judges of Employment Tribunals following a recruitment exercise calling for applications from any suitably qualified individuals who wished to be considered for appointment. Her appointment will cover a five-year period from 15 January 2018 until 15 January 2023.

Following Amanda's appointment, Dentons now has two judges in its UK Employment team.
