Annual Employment Law Conference 2021

We are pleased to launch this years Employment Law Conference Programme. Our intention for this year has always been to run a face-to-face event, due to the uncertainty about the path of the pandemic during the coming months we have decided to run a virtual event with a revised format to be held on Thursday 18th November 2021.

The first session will contain an update on Employment Law and the latest developments from recent Employment Tribunal cases, you will also have the opportunity to have your questions answered.

The subsequent sessions contain practical guidance on the legal aspects of specific topics reflective of the current challenges faced as we tentatively emerge from the pandemic.

All sessions will be delivered by experienced Employment Lawyers from Womble Bond Dickinson and Hay & Kilner. Each session will also be recorded so you can review them after the event.

If you wish to be seen as the practical expert in your organisation who is totally up to date on employment law, please attend. If you are responsible for people development and employee relations, you can gain a lot from this event.

The pandemic has been challenging for everyone and has been especially difficult for charities, many having their income streams drastically reduced over the last 18 months. We have decided this year to hold the event at a reduced price of only £45 plus vat, the proceeds of the event will go to Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Please email me at john@weightmanassociates.com to book your space.
