Belinda Mercer

Belinda joined Mayo Wynne Baxter in November 2025. She qualified as a solicitor in 1992 and previously practised as an in house employment lawyer for a number of years, advising a wide range of organisations from small employers to multinational companies. She also worked for 7 years for a national charity in the care sector.

Having taken a break from her legal career in 2010, Belinda worked in the English wine industry for a number of years before joining our team to return to employment law. She now advises employers and employees on Settlement Agreements, dismissals, grievances, contracts of employment and discrimination issues. She draws on her previous experience of Employment Tribunal litigation to support her clients with a practical understanding of the risks involved.

Belinda works with individuals and organisations in a calm and approachable way, clearly explaining legal concepts and offering pragmatic, people focused advice. Outside of work, Belinda enjoys printmaking, wine tasting and judging, and visiting the vineyards and wineries of Sussex, Kent and Surrey.”
