Lottie has co-written an article with Hugh Sims KC and Katie Gibb on the scope of a director’s duty to disclose conflicts of interest.
Lottie (Charlotte) Mallin-Martin specialises in Chambers’ core practice areas of Commercial and Employment & Discrimination law.
She is a busy junior who continues to build her mixed practice, and she is well-placed to act in or assist with, disputes engaging both areas of law. Her cross-over specialisms include employee / shareholder competition and shareholder / partnership disputes.
Lottie has already been instructed as junior counsel in complex, multi-million pound disputes in the High Court and Employment Tribunal. She is often called upon to assist in cases where proceedings are running concurrently in the Tribunal and Civil Courts.
Lottie has already appeared successfully before the EAT and the High Court.
Lottie is passionate about Pro Bono work. She is currently the Western Circuit’s Pro Bono representative and a member of Advocate, the Bristol Pro Bono Group and the Hampshire Pro Bono Group. She was recently shortlisted as a finalist for Advocate’s ‘Young Pro Bono Barrister of the Year’ award at Advocate’s national pro bono awards.
Lottie enjoys road cycling and mountain biking, having competed in the sport since the age of 11. In 2014, she won the Junior Women’s National Downhill Mountain Biking championships.
Lottie has also been recognised in the 2025 Legal 500 as a ‘Rising Star’
Lottie’s mixed commercial-employment practice makes her particularly well-suited to assist with business protection disputes.
Recent cases include:
Her advisory work includes:
Lottie accepts instructions in all areas of employment and discrimination law, acting for both claimants and respondents in the public and private sector. Her employee clients include doctors, carers, police officers, journalists and HR professionals. Her respondent clients include Police Forces, a Premiership rugby team, local government, blue chip firms including John Lewis plc, and national recruitment agencies.
Lottie has already appeared, successfully, before the EAT. In Davies v EE Limited [2022] EAT 91, the EAT agreed that the Tribunal had erred in law when finding that the claimant’s pleaded provision, criterion or practice was not applied to her. The claimant’s claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments (ss.20, 21 & 39 EqA) and discriminatory dismissal (ss.39(2) & (7)(b) EqA) were remitted to a fresh Tribunal.
Lottie is regularly instructed to appear in multi-day whistleblowing and discrimination trials (including on issues of Equal Pay). Her drafting and advisory work captures the full suite of employment and discrimination litigation.
Lottie also acts for parties in County Court proceedings involving alleged breaches of the Equality Act 2010.

A growing part of Lottie’s practice is in conducting independent workplace investigations. Lottie’s skillset is particularly well-suited to this discipline. She is very user-friendly and can utilise her exceptional attention to detail to prepare impartial, fully reasoned written reports for use in the workplace.
Lottie was recently instructed to investigate allegations of bullying, harassment, and retaliatory treatment by the chairman of a global manufacturing group towards a junior member of staff.
Lottie accepts instructions in a wide variety of commercial matters.
Lottie is regularly instructed to attend hearings in the County Court and High Court, and her experience of employment tribunal litigation makes her particularly well-suited to appear in long, multi-track trials with lengthy cross-examination of multiple witnesses.
As part of her advisory and drafting work, Lottie’s regular clients include solicitors firms, financial institutions, international businesses and more local SMEs. She also receives repeat instructions from firms representing parties in their negligent construction disputes.
