DMH Stallard partner elected to AIJA Executive Committee

DMH Stallard employment partner Hollie Ryan has been elected to the Executive Committee of the International Association of Young Lawyers (AIJA), one of the world’s leading organisations for legal professionals aged 45 and under.

Hollie was elected during the AIJA Annual Congress in Vienna, joining legal professionals from across the globe in helping to shape the future direction of the organisation.

AIJA is an international network of young lawyers and in-house counsel, providing opportunities for professional development, knowledge-sharing and cross-border collaboration.

Commenting on her appointment, Hollie said:

I am absolutely delighted to have been elected to the AIJA Executive Committee. AIJA has been an important part of my professional development, enabling me to build relationships with outstanding lawyers from around the world and gain valuable international insight.

I am looking forward to working with my fellow committee members to support AIJA’s objectives, strengthen its global network and help shape opportunities for the next generation of legal professionals.

An experienced employment lawyer, Hollie advises employers and senior executives on a wide range of employment and HR matters, from workplace disputes and restructurings to complex discrimination and whistleblowing cases. She also supports overseas organisations establishing and growing their businesses in the UK.

Rustom Tata, Head of Employment, Partner and Chairman at DMH Stallard, said:

This is a fantastic achievement for Hollie and a reflection of the commitment, professionalism and international outlook she brings to her work. Her election to the AIJA Executive Committee is well deserved and demonstrates the high regard in which she is held by her peers across the global legal community.

We are proud to support Hollie in this role and look forward to seeing her make a valuable contribution to AIJA over the coming years.

Hollie is one of 23 newly elected members appointed to the Executive Committee following this year’s AIJA General Assembly.
