Clough & Willis Solicitors, Commercial and private legal services UK

Employment Forums

Employment law is a complex minefield at the best of times and never more so now we're in such a challenging economic environment. So, Clough & Willis - one of the North West's leading mid-sized legal firms - has again organised a series of free employment law events that aim to educate and inform local businesses on new legislation and issues.

The events will be led by Andrew Moore, an employment law specialist at Clough & Willis. Andrew has been working as an employment law specialist since 2000 and has conducted over 100 hearings appearing in many Employment Tribunals across England, Scotland and Wales. He has acted on behalf of claimants and businesses from the very small to the large national organisations.

As well as conducting employment litigation, he has offered employment law advice for many firms on all aspects of employment law and human resource management from drafting policies and procedures to complex transfer of undertakings matters.

This new series of events is designed to support and complement Employer's Advantage - Clough & Willis's full HR service that has been developed specifically to guide and support business owners through the management of their people, allowing them to remain focused on growing and developing their organisations.

Discussing the events, Andrew said; 'We know Employers are taking tough decisions in difficult circumstances, often in tight time scales. That's just the time when it's easy to forget about employment law - but a wrong decision could cost enough to kill a struggling business. We've planned a series of sessions which will be very informative - and delegates will be able to implement what they've learned in their own businesses straight away.'

Event Subject

Maternity and family rights
There have been many changes in recent times in respect of entitlements relating to time off for "family" related reasons. Andrew will review the current entitlements and explore the less obvious rights afforded to those with dependants - this will include examining the position of employees requesting a flexible working arrangement and the impact of the Equality Act 2010 on such rights.

From first contact to the last, everyone has been very professional and reassuring through what has been an emotional and stressful time for us and without the help of your company it would have been much more difficult for me and my husband.

Lorraine, I would just like to say "thank you very much" for all your hard work and assistance in the letting of the above property. The negotiations were somewhat protracted, due to a breakdown on my client's side, and I feel that your persistence and hard work led to the eventual lease completion. I look forward to working with you in the near future. Kind regards, Neil Higson, for and on behalf of Nolan Redshaw Ltd
