Lara Beech

NFU legal and technical team leader

Lara has nearly 30 years of experience providing employment law advice, guidance and support to predominantly employers and also employees.

She joined the NFU more than eight years ago as a specialist adviser, advising on employment, land and legal and general, but for the past five years she has been a team leader of the legal and technical team and also responsible for leading on NFU Employment Service day-to-day.

Lara's role primarily requires her to ensure the NFU's team of employment advisers are up to date with current employment law and best practice guidance so that we can deliver a high quality service to our members. This includes reviewing and updating the employment business guides available to our members.

Employment queries can be complex and sensitive matters for our members to handle so it is essential for the team to be able to deliver effective and impactful advice clearly and concisely giving the member the confidence to apply this to their business.

As team leader, Lara also supports advisers taking on new topic areas, creating structured training plans tailored to the individual and providing mentoring and guidance.
