Gill Cockburn - West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service
CEO + Founder of Award-Winning Han Law
Legal 500 Recommended Solicitor
Speaker - Writer - Campaigner - Disruptor
Disillusioned by the traditional business model which too often failed to deliver the best for her clients, herself and her team, Hannah set up Han Law in 2019 with the goal of improving working lives for all.
Hannah takes a fresh, modern and fun approach to employment law, where innovation and creativity go hand in hand with technical ability and a life beyond the office.
Hannah’s a passionate advocate for equal rights in the workplace. She regularly presents and writes on the topic and during the Covid-19 Pandemic, she launched a campaign for employers to be more transparent about potential redundancies, to better protect women’s rights in the workplace.
Hannah has been asked to be a key-note speaker for several organisations including the West Yorkshire Fire Service, to assist with their drive to recruit more females. She is also a regular columnist for The Yorkshire Post newspaper, within their business and opinion sections.
Hannah is an experienced public speaker in the employment law arena, who brings a wealth of knowledge, dynamic content, and industry-challenging ideas - with a healthy dose of humour and humility. Some of her previous and upcoming speaker events include:
West Yorkshire Fire Service: Equality in the Workplace & cultural change
Legal Tech Talk Conference 2024: My story
Chartered Institute for Payroll Professionals Conference 2023/24
Reward & Strategy Conference 2023: Employment law update
