Law firm successfully takes renowned employment law roadshow online

In line with UK lockdown restrictions, the law firm replaced in-person events with a virtual seminar that was attended by more than 340 people. Various sessions took place throughout the seminar and focused on key changes, lessons learned and trends within UK employment law, with topics including Brexit and Immigration, IR35 and the employment bill. 

Having been run for 17 years, the annual roadshow offers an opportunity for HR directors, managers and business owners to learn from the firm’s highly regarded employment law team, which is listed in the prestigious Legal 500 – a leading industry guide.

Helen Watson, Partner and Head of Employment Law at Aaron and Partners, said: “Our employment law roadshows have always been one of the biggest events of the year for us, and despite being unable to deliver the seminar in person this year, we felt it was important to make sure businesses still had access to expert advice. 

“Almost exactly one year on from the first national lockdown, the coronavirus pandemic has had a huge impact on all aspects of employment law and there is so much that businesses can and need to learn from the past 12-months.

“It was great to see so many people attend, and we had lots of positive feedback with many impressed by the range of topics and level of depth covered, with delegates praising the new virtual format.”

Ben Mason, Employment Law Partner at the firm, who also spoke at the seminar, added: “I look forward to the roadshows every year.  It was fantastic to see so many businesses positively engaging with us online and taking part in our live Q&A.

“Now, more than ever, it’s vital that businesses are up to date with any legal changes being introduced and our roadshow has become a recognised resource for directors and HR teams seeking CPD accredited employment law insights for their organisations.”
