Ex-Irwin Mitchell duo set up London boutique employment firm
Shazia Khan (L) and Emilie Cole (R) opened for business today.
Former Irwin Mitchell partners Emilie Cole and Shazia Khan have launched a boutique law firm specialising in employment and professional discipline law.
The firm, Cole Khan, is located in Chancery Lane, London’s legal heartland, across the road from the Law Society.
