Employment law is now recognised as one of the fastest developing specialist areas of law. Much of the impetus for change and the growth of legislation has undoubtedly emanated from Europe, and the substance of the legislation in the UK is therefore linked.
Considering this recent wave of new legislation, it is time for the UK in-house lawyer to be a part of a complete, practical dissection of current employment law dynamics.
It is with this in mind that The Lawyer Conferences presents the Employment Law Summit 2004, the inaugural high level legal event to comprehensively dissect contemporary employment law with thought-provoking, practical and authoritative guidance bringing together major industry experts, employment law authorities and legal specialists.
We provide concrete guidance from the top legal experts in the UK on the current key changes and a preview of future changes to legislation in the context of practical analysis. We include six in-house case studies focusing on the application of the theory to real world situations.
Gain insight from senior-level authoritative guidance on European Directives, scrutinizing the impact of TUPE, the Information and Consultation Directive, and new Discrimination legislation on the application of Employment Law.
