Natalie Saunders – Managing Director


MA (Oxon), solicitor, member of the Employment Lawyers Association and Industrial Law Society.

Natalie Saunders qualified as a solicitor in 2000 at “Magic Circle” firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer having studied law at Magdalen College, Oxford and has been ranked as a notable practitioner of employment law in Chambers & Partners, one of the leading UK legal directories. Natalie advises clients on the full spectrum of employment law issues encompassing both contentious and non-contentious matters.

Prior to founding Pharos Legal, Natalie succeeded in having the work of two of the teams she headed up recommended for their work in the prestigious “Legal 500” directory.

Natalie is passionate about helping keep her employer clients out of the employment tribunal and is proud of her track record in ensuring potentially difficult situations are handled correctly but also cost-effectively. Natalie understands that employers frequently find employment law issues to be an unwelcome and time-consuming distraction from pursuing their real business objectives and don’t want reams of complicated advice written in legal jargon.

As such, Natalie provides swift, unequivocal and no-nonsense solutions designed to minimize the disruption that can be created by people problems of any kind.

Natalie has been commended for her “direct and friendly” approach but is also known for an assertive negotiation style. She can assimilate large quantities of information quickly and readily identify the key relevant factors. Her strong eye for detail is balanced by an appreciation of larger commercial issues and she is known for the rapid drafting of complex but effective documents.
