Jackie Morris
Legal Director
Legal Director in the Employment & pensions team

Jackie is a legal director specialising in employment law. He works across all sectors at Anthony Collins Solicitors, though he predominantly deals with clients in the health and social care sector. His work largely consists of defending claims in the employment tribunal and providing commercial, cost-effective advice to clients in a clear and down-to-earth way.
Jackie qualified as a solicitor in 2013 in a busy, hands-on high-street firm, where he acted for both employees and employers. He joined Anthony Collins Solicitors in July 2020. Prior to this, he worked for a large national firm specialising in advising all levels of employees on employment law disputes and claims. Whilst completing his academic qualifications, he operated as a trade union shop steward, and so has first-hand experience of dealing with disciplinary and grievance hearings.
‘I wish to highlight Jackie Morris for his friendly demeanour and straightforward, practical and wise counsel.’ Legal 500, 2023
