With just two weeks to go, limited places are still available for the annual Michelmores Employment Law Conference − aimed at businesses and organisations looking to keep up-to-date with the very latest changes in employment legislation.

The conference, which takes place on 13 November 2014 at Sandy Park Conference Centre, draws a wide range of delegates from across the South West, including employers, HR professionals and directors from the public, private, education and charitable sectors.

Topics under discussion will include holiday entitlement and calculations, and controlling social media − as well as a comprehensive review of the key legislation changes from the last 12 months. The conference will also welcome guest speaker Tony Cooper, Director of ACAS South West Region, who will provide a comprehensive update on early conciliation, the negotiation process and Tribunal statistics.

Michelmores' Partner and Head of the Employment team, Andrew Tobey, who will chair the conference, said: “Employment law issues touch all levels and types of business, from workplace disputes through to corporate acquisitions, and few areas of the law are as fast changing and dynamic."

“It is essential for today’s HR professionals and other employers to fully understand recent changes to employment law and the impact that these changes will have on their businesses and organisations. Now in its 13th year, the conference has proved to be ‘must-go-to’ employment events, and we are looking forward to a record turnout this year.”

Andrew Tobey will be joined by other specialist lawyers from the Michelmores Employment Law team, including Partners Nikki Duncan and Tim Davies, along with Associates James Baker and Tom Stenner-Evans.
The half-day conference takes place on 13 November 2014 at Sandy Park Conference Centre, starting at 9am. Places cost £50 and include a buffet lunch.

The deadline to book tickets is Monday 10th November. To register for the event, please visit www.michelmores.com/employmentconference
