Shropshire employers are being urged to take advantage of a seminar that could change the way they do business.

The presentation will be held by Martin-Kaye LLP Solicitors, at their offices in The Foundry, Euston Way, Telford, on Tuesday March 1, at 10.30am.

Employment law specialist, John Mehtam, who leads the company's Alpha business team, said the seminar could prove invaluable for local employers.

"Every year there are more and more regulations which employers need to tackle, and 2011 is no different, but increasingly employers have less and less time to wade through the complicated rules.

"So we're hosting a presentation where our experts will explain the six key employment law updates that will directly affect businesses this year."

John said the seminar would include discussions on:

The abolition of the default retirement age; changes to maternity and paternity leave; the extension of flexible working rights; equal treatment for agency workers; The Equality Act 2010; and The Bribery Act 2010.

"We'll also be joined on the day by leading barrister, Ed Beever, from St Philips Chambers in Birmingham, who specialises in commercial and employment law, and who is recognised as one of the best in his field.

"This is the latest in a series of seminars run by our Alpha team who specialise in effective and appropriate advice for businesses in all aspects of commercial and employment law.

"We're keen to host seminars on topics which are specially requested by our clients, and the changing face of employment law is always extremely popular with all the companies we work with."

But John said numbers for the seminar were strictly limited, so employers would need to reserve a place by calling 01952 272222 or email emmapalmer@martinkaye.co.uk
