Overview
Clients increasingly view employees as the most important ‘asset’ of any target company or business. How the deal is structured also fundamentally affects an employee’s position at law. As employment law becomes ever more complex, it is vital to have a clear understanding of what can and can’t be done in relation to employees.
This course will provide you with a sound knowledge and skill base to advise effectively in this area.
Venue may change up to 14-days before the course start date. Enquire for dates.
