Peter Etherington MA, LL.M.
Etherington HR (previously Peter Etherington Employment Law Services) was established in 2007 to assist predominantly small businesses throughout the East Midlands with the ever-growing intricacies of HR and people management. Prior to this, Pete had acquired a track record of HR management and consultancy, including working for many years at Croner Consulting. He headed up their advisory services initially, before taking on the role of Head of Litigation, managing the team responsible for handling clients’ tribunal claims.
Pete has a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Management from De Montfort University and a Master of Laws Degree in Employment Law from the University of Leicester. He is uniquely placed, therefore, to approach staff management matters in a pragmatic and solutions-based way, with his advice securely backed up by his considerable legal knowledge and experience.
Clients appreciate our approach towards advice and support, as this is always based on risk analysis. Our aim is to find the best solution for the client, always clarify any risks and focus on outcomes that work in clients’ best interests.

Rebekah Swingler
Bekah joined the team in January 2024 as our Consultancy Assistant. Her previous 12 years’ experience of working in the court service has stood her in good stead when it comes to communicating with a wide range of clients and managing a high volume of detailed documentation. Whilst this is her first experience of working in HR she has taken to it like a duck to water and enjoys learning more about our weird and wonderful employment law system.
Bekah works school hours, term-time only as her “real job” is as a full-time mum to two young daughters! She provides vital support to the team and our client base, through handing requests for contracts for new starters, variation letters, maternity letters, etc. Bekah also supports clients setting up and managing our recommended HR system, Breathe.
