Samantha Dickinson

Sam qualified in 2001 and joined Mayo Wynne Baxter as an Associate Solicitor in 2015 and was promoted to Partner in 2017.

She expertly advises both employers and employees on all aspects of employment, whether as a robust litigator or by concentrating on the finer points of contract drafting.

Sam has taken on various cases centred on discrimination issues and has proven to be a highly persuasive advocate in the presentation of complex cases.

Her in-depth knowledge and eye for detail are matched by her ability to be quick on her feet in cross-examination.

She rightly prides herself on giving pragmatic advice, especially when weighing-up the potential costs involved in litigating a matter.

The needs of clients are her primary focus.

Sam consistently receives excellent feedback, building her client base through regular referrals from those she has advised throughout her successful career.

Sam plays an active part in the management of the firm and is its Equality and Diversity Partner.

Outside work she enjoys sea swimming (even better in winter!) and cycling, taking full advantage of the Sussex countryside whenever she can.

“I’ve been working with MWB for about 6 years now and cannot rate them highly enough. Their service is professional, friendly and pragmatic – if you’re looking for employment law advice then I would have no hesitation in recommending Sam Dickinson for her knowledge, expertise, professionalism and for bringing a sense of humour to sometimes trying situations.”

“Excellent and well thought out employment advice received from Samantha Dickinson (Partner) re an employment issue. Very quickly understood the circumstances and came up with a clear strategy, reasoned and concise draft correspondence for us to use and was always available to discuss developments. We will use again and would certainly recommend to others.”
