HLW EMPLOYMENT LAW UPDATE SEMINAR 2011,
17th March 2011 - Chambers Hotel, 30 Park Place, Leeds, LS1 2SP
A YEAR OF CHANGE?
Employment law is a recognised minefield. The economic impact of the recession has led to a 56% increase in Employment Tribunal claims, their highest ever level. Knowing the current trends and what to look out for can help you to avoid costly mistakes. To help you keep up with the rapid pace of change and in anticipation of legislative changes in April 2011, we bring you this useful and practical update. This seminar will provide employers with a guide to the law and practical advice in light of the revisions and reviews of legislation by the Coalition Government as well as case law. The seminar features Partner Joan Pettingill and solicitor Andrew Lightburn from our Leeds team. The seminar will be run at Chambers Hotel in Leeds and there will be ample opportunity for questions and answers afterwards.
