In a significant addition to its team, Duane Morris has announced that Helen Foley has joined its employment, labor, benefits, and immigration practice group in London as a partner. Foley brings extensive expertise in employment law and human resources matters, advising both UK and international clients. Her areas of focus include workplace investigations, HR audits—which particularly emphasize issues such as harassment and bullying—and advising on contingent workforce arrangements and flexible workplace operations. This move marks a transition from her previous role at PwC, where she held a similar advisory position.
Foley’s experience and skill set will inevitably strengthen Duane Morris’s capabilities in managing complex employment issues, a critical area for their clients operating in diverse and often rapidly evolving regulatory environments. The firm’s strategy seems to hinge upon bolstering its capacity for providing tailored solutions in employment law, a field that continues to face pressure from globalization and changing workplace norms.
Duane Morris’s decision to onboard a partner with Foley’s background underscores its commitment to expanding its footprint in the legal market, particularly as compliance and human resources considerations become increasingly intricate and essential for global businesses. The blend of her expertise in legal frameworks and practical HR strategies aligns well with the firm’s goal to offer comprehensive advisory in employment-related matters.
