Katy Gale

Katy has worked at BU Lawyers since 2020 as both a paralegal and now as a qualified lawyer.

Katy has experience in commercial legal work and litigation and she has a focus on:

• Advice, contract drafting and litigation to businesses including in relation to:
• All areas of employment law;
• Professional liability for all professionals (with a focus on financial professionals). Katy also has substantial experience with building professionals;
• Insurance law.

Katy has had success in investigating corporate, estate and trust disputes where detailed investigations are required. This includes locating and tracing funds, fraudulent transactions, potential whistleblowing, regulatory investigations and piecing together complex factual issues to establish a legal case.

Katy has a particular interest in restraint of trade disputes where employees or contractors are alleged to have solicited or taken away clients from a business. Restraints can certainly be enforceable and they come down to the language of the clause and reasonableness and can lead to substantial damages. Katy enjoys litigating whether for employees or employers and drafting restraint of trade provisions suitable to parties.

Outside of work, Katy enjoys nothing more than staying active and can often be found running or in the gym.
