Employment issues in a recession
Simon McMenemy, Partner
Andy Williams, Associate

Although in many cases redundancy may be inevitable, companies are now looking at other ways to reduce staff costs. What can employers do and how should they go about achieving it? How does this fit within the complicated framework of employment law? All will be explained.

Property: minimising exit costs/maximising damages
Claire Timmings, Solicitor and
Lisa Faulkner, Solicitor

As a tenant you might be in a position to exit from redundant leasehold property. As a landlord you might want to clarify any claims you may have against a vacating tenant and with a view to maximising recoverable damages. This is even more important in view of the likelihood of not being able to re-let the property. We will advise on tactics and the law from both parties' perspectives.

Critical terms in commercial contracts - the law and the tactics
Geoff Sparks, Partner and Duncan Elson, Partner

In the current climate, we take a topical look at how you can get the best out of your commercial contracts.

Corporate manslaughter, repetitive strain injury and an update on a recent stress case
Amanda Stevens, Partner

Prevention is better than cure, but how do you take a sensible, pragmatic approach to health and safety and still stay on the right side of the law? This talk will provide top tips around three issues where new case law is emerging and will distil the principles into practical guidance.
