Our annual Employment and Immigration Training Event is the unmissable event of the year for in-house employment lawyers and senior HR professionals.
2021 has been another changeable year for employers, culminating in a return to the workplace for some and many employers testing new hybrid working patterns. As the Government's focus returns to pre-pandemic aims and aspirations whilst steering the economy through post-pandemic and post-Brexit challenges, 2022 looks to be a busy year for employment law. Once again, it has never been more important for employers to be on top of the UK's rapidly changing legal landscape.
