Collins McNicholas is this year marking 20 years of hosting its annual Employment Law Events across the country which continue to grow in popularity every year. They are hosted in association with employment law experts Alastair Purdy LLP.
This year, events will be held across seven different locations in Athlone, Galway, Sligo, Limerick, Galway, Cork and Dublin between January and March. Due to increased demand, there will be two events held in Dublin this year, with a new city centre location added at the Dublin Chamber of Commerce.
The employment law events provide HR professionals and business owners with an opportunity to network and connect with industry peers while learning about some of the latest trends in the workplace and provide insights into the recruitment market.
The informative briefings will cover a range of topics, providing the latest information and trends across Pay Transparency, the Auto Enrolment pension scheme, AI in the workplace, Claims Management Defending Claims before the WRC and Protected Disclosures and Injunctions.
There will also be discussions looking back at notable cases from 2025, providing attendees with real-life reference cases relating to the topics covered during the Employment Law Event.
Collins McNicholas offer these Employment Law Events exclusively to their client and partner base around the country.
