Employment Law Training

In-house lawyers, HR professionals and people managers have been benefiting from DLA Piper employment law training courses for more than 20 years. Our courses are presented by practicing employment lawyers who have an in-depth understanding not only of employment laws but also their practical implications.

We deliver both UK and International Employment Law training courses. Employment law changes constantly and it is essential for organisations to ensure their employment lawyers and HR professionals are up to date on the impact of new employment legislation and case law.

“I have been on many, many HR type courses over the years on employment law. This was by far the best and the trainer has a fantastic training style and is very knowledgeable.”

We design and present tailored employment law training to all types of organisations in-house. This tailored employment law training is specifically designed to meet the employment law training needs of businesses in the constantly changing legal environment.

DLA Piper's Global Employment Group also organises separate client events and webinars throughout the year. Contact us for more information about any of our courses, events or webinars.

The courses are delivered by lawyers with local experience, focus on employment law, best practice and cultural challenges in multiple countries across EMEA, Asia Pacific and the Americas, and are valuable for anyone managing the challenges of entering into, operating in or exiting from different international jurisdictions.
