About the course

This is a time of unprecedented change and growing complexity in the area of employment law. Understanding these developments is of critical importance to those seeking to negotiate a surefooted pathway through the workplace environment. IPLS is delighted to bring together a team of leading employment law experts, including two employment judges, to deliver a course which will provide a thorough grounding in the key components and latest developments in this highly specialised area of law.

In this course we will cover the following topics:

• Overview of practice within the Tribunals
• Whistleblowing
• Discrimination claims
• Remedies within employment context
• Advanced practice & procedure
• Settlements

Who should attend?

The course will appeal to those in both the public and private sectors: legal practitioners, employers, company directors, regulatory bodies, and HR professionals.

 “I thoroughly enjoyed the six week Advanced Employment Law Short Course at the Institute of Professional Legal Studies convened by barristers Emma McIlveen and Ryan Cushley. It was an insightful and interesting course which covered many complex topics within employment law including discrimination, whistleblowing and equal pay claims. The course was delivered by several experts in the area including judges, barristers and solicitors. As a newly qualified solicitor I felt it built on my existing knowledge and gave me the confidence to practice in the area. I would recommend the course to all practitioners and HR consultants. “
