About Amy

Amy is an experienced employment lawyer covering the full range of employment law, including contentious and non-contentious matters, employment contracts, termination of employment, employment law aspects of corporate transactions.

Amy Cunningham studied at Oxford University and then trained and qualified as an employment lawyer at CMS Cameron McKenna in 2007, before founding Cunningham Legal. Amy remained at CMS for 9 years, gaining a wealth of experience of advising both employers and employees on the full range of employment law and HR issues.  During this time she was seconded twice to work in a global investment bank, first as an employment lawyer in the Legal team and later as an employee relations specialist within HR, which gave her a new perspective on the issues faced by both employers and employees in practice, and a fresh approach to her work as an employment lawyer. 

Amy's previous experience includes advising a Sunday Times Fast Track 100 company, two Tech Track 100 companies and a Google Ventures-backed tech start-up on drafting, updating and negotiating their employment contracts and consultancy agreements. Amy also previously advised a travel tech company on the employment status and appropriate contractual arrangements for casual staff.
 
 Amy has clearly shown that she is extremely comfortable working autonomously and independently whilst being responsive and very personable to the client. She also makes herself available to clients outside of normal office hours for urgent advice proving that she is able to cater to their every need and requirement. She has a track record of providing high quality advice on time and on budget whilst priding herself on providing a responsive service with a commitment to delivering value
 which can certainly be attributed to her 12 years of experience and work with high value clients.

About their firm

Recognising that there was a gap in the market for a dynamic and entrepreneurial new law firm focused on providing the same high quality advice as larger firms but at a fraction of the cost, Amy founded Cunningham Legal in 2015.

Due to her track record and unwavering commitment to delivering value for clients, most of the firm’s work comes from recommendations from Amy’s previous clients and from referrals from other lawyers.

Amy was effectively my HR department for the better part of 4 months, as my tech company prepared to make its first hires. In addition to drawing up contracts and advising me on the law, she wrote a comprehensive employee handbook for us, including several bespoke policies for our particular needs and corporate culture. She is dependable, clear, and delivers on time. She was able to deal with a constantly changing set of parameters. I can highly recommend her for any UK employment law needs.

Amy was extremely knowledgable in her field and in supporting me - she provided me with very clear, confident and practical advice. She was easily accessible, and if not available immediately, she always got back to me very promptly. She completely eased any potential stress I thought I would experience during the process we worked on together. A delight to work with, I would work with her again and I would highly recommend her services.

Amy provided a pair of employment contracts for my small start-up business. She was very friendly, quick working, and through a few phone calls got to understand our requirements very well. She was also able to explain legal issues very clearly and concisely. All in all a great service.
