Settling Employment Claims on Termination - Practical guidance on settlements, compromise agreements and protecting the business

Introduction

The last 12 months has seen an increase in the number of unfair dismissal claims at tribunal. This rise in cases has been caused by the recession, and employers need to ensure that their compliance policy, termination processes and internal control and investigation policies are up to date and effectively enforced.

At this practical conference, some of the UK's leading experts will provide guidance on how best to end the employment relationship. This high level event is specially designed for in-house employment lawyers, senior HR professionals and their external legal advisers.
