Colina Greenway

Colina originally planned to be a corporate lawyer before discovering her true calling as an employment lawyer, with a strong commercial focus.  She trained and worked in the City for 15 years, much of it in multidisciplinary, multinational teams, earning her MBA from London Business School along the way. In 2006, Colina established a boutique employment law practice and developed a diverse client base across the finance, manufacturing, education, and services sectors.  In 2026, Colina moved to Greenwoods and was delighted that all her current clients chose to become Greenwoods clients and continue their working relationship with Colina.

Colina’s practice is primarily non-contentious, and she is a firm believer in the principle that “prevention is better than cure”.  Nevertheless, some of her most satisfying career moments have been helping clients to defeat complex employment tribunal claims.  These include the successful defence of a years-long equal pay claim, which was finally resolved in the client’s favour after a trip to the European Court of Justice.  Colina has also helped clients defend and defeat complex claims involving allegations of whistleblowing and sex and disability discrimination.

In the non-contentious arena, Colina provides support and advice at every stage of the employment lifecycle, including development and maintenance, as well as practical support with day-to-day operational HR challenges, always looking for the win-win solution that meets business objectives and keeps employees engaged and motivated.
