Employment law specialist spearheads firm’s Birmingham launch

Employment law firm Constantine Law has expanded into Birmingham with the recruitment of a prominent specialist in the region.

Omer Simjee has moved from Irwin Mitchell, where he was national head of business immigration and a partner in the Birmingham employment team.

He has become Constantine Law’s fifth senior employment lawyer. The firm was launched in London by principal John Hayes in 2015 and has ambitious plans to grow.

Simjee said: “We work to a lean business model, which delivers a smarter, more responsive service to our clients.

“The strategy is to shake up the legal market in the West Midlands by delivering high-quality advice at a price that the region’s businesses will recognise as being exceptional value.”

The firm believes that by eliminating many of the fixed costs that come with traditional law firms, it can provide clients with much greater value.
