Abi Reynolds is an employment lawyer who specialises in supporting start-ups and scale-ups, particularly those operating in the technology and life sciences sectors. She is known for her pragmatic, commercially focused advice that enables clients to manage risk, foster growth, and create robust people strategies from inception through rapid expansion.

Abi regularly advises innovative businesses at all stages of their growth journey on the full spectrum of employment law issues, including founder arrangements, executive hiring, workforce structuring, workplace policies, compliance matters and contentious exits. Her clients value her ability to deliver clear guidance on complex regulatory and employee relations challenges—often within fast-paced environments where priorities shift quickly.

She has particular experience acting for high-growth tech companies and life sciences ventures as they navigate fundraising rounds, international expansion, restructurings and acquisitions.
