Our Employment Advice Team Lunch runs three times a year and is led by Dawn Gallie, Solicitor and Associate Director, to update HR professionals and small business owners on updates in employment law that they must oblige to.

EAT Lunch sessions offer a confidential forum for you to share your experiences in handling HR issues and to network with fellow attendees. Enjoy lunch, along with coffee and tea, while engaging in useful discussions.

Dawn also opens the floor to a general Q&A session. If you have specific questions you would like addressed, please include them in your booking, and Dawn will cover those (anonymously) on the day.
