Ingrid Hesselbo

My role involves putting myself in the shoes of employers and employees to help solve their legal and commercial issues. I help clients minimise their employment and HR risks and respond to changes in law and practice in this ever evolving area. Previously I worked as an employment specialist in the in-house legal department of a multinational inter-dealer broker providing pragmatic legal and strategic counsel to a range of stakeholders in the business which puts me in a particularly good position to understand the challenges and pressures faced by in-house legal teams and HR departments.

Our clients are diverse, from international organisations, through to tech start-ups and individuals. As a team we advise clients across a range of sectors including media, technology, financial services, retail and professional services. As a result of my past in-house role, I have a particular interest in the financial services sector and the employment related aspects of that such as team moves, complex bonus arrangements and regulatory issues.

I am a member of Fladgate’s Inclusion and Diversity Committee and am part of the gender and equality sub-committee. I am a lapsed swimmer and an enthusiastic but very beginner pianist.
