A specialist in contentious partnership, employment, and discrimination law, Catriona Watt explains why natural justice is particularly important in senior-level terminations and how getting it wrong can have significant consequences.

Watt also reflects on her experience working on both sides of disputes, including lessons from emotive, cross-border litigation and representing law firms and partners.
