Kate Shawcross

Partner at Porter Dodson

I am a Partner at Porter Dodson solicitors, specialising in Employment Law. With over 15 years’ experience as a qualified solicitor, I advise businesses across a range of sectors on employment, HR, and people management matters, helping organisations navigate complex legal and workplace issues with confidence.

Prior to relocating to Somerset a few years ago, I spent 6 years on the Board of a local cancer charity, gaining valuable experience in governance, strategic decision-making, and collaborative leadership.

As a Board member of Sedgemoor Chamber, I bring my specialist knowledge in employment law and HR, alongside my passion for supporting the local business community. I am dedicated to helping the Chamber provide practical guidance, strategic insight, and opportunities that strengthen member businesses and promote a thriving local economy.
