Employment Law Consortia

The University of Law is delighted to offer a suite of courses for employment lawyers. The courses will be delivered using our highly successful consortium model. Firms can join the new Employment Training Consortium. This carries no obligation regarding use of the consortium courses but simply the right to be notified of courses and to send delegates on a shared cost basis on any of the courses on the programme. Firms can then benefit from the training provided, as and when it suits the needs of the firm’s solicitors. Lawyers can attend as many or as few of the session as they wish.

Dates: Autumn 2023 (TBC)
Time: 9.30am – 11:30am
Location: Online

Comprising six virtual sessions, each interactive workshop will focus on a key area of employment law and practice which can be discussed in depth with fellow professionals using case studies based on real life scenarios. Each case study will be tailored to your business, ensuring that they are real, relevant and up to date.

Delivered by an experienced employment solicitor with over 25 years of working in private practice, each session will also include an overview of the key legal principles and a summary of the key discussion topics.
