In-house Lawyers Forum - 27 May 2021
We look at the latest Covid-19 employment status, IR35 developments and commercial updates including the use of crypto assets and cookie claims.
This online event took place on 27 May 2021 and is now available on-demand. The content in this recording was correct as of the original webinar date.
Whilst you were likely distracted (yes, us too) with the changes close at hand, working from home and Covid-19 related changes… the law has quietly been moving on.
Contracts have been fought over, changes made to case law, new legislation passed and new technologies discovered, considered and decided upon. That nagging feeling you used to get when you left home (did you lock the door before you left?) has been replaced with a nagging feeling that maybe you’ve not been keeping on top of all of this stuff and that maybe your advice might be out of date.
Sound familiar? Don’t worry – we’ve got your back. Over the course of two sessions, we’ll be covering what’s changed and what you need to know about. The sessions will focus on practical solutions that you can utilise with your business. Each session will last around an hour and will also include an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
In this first session, our Partner James Tait gives an update on the latest employment status and IR35 developments including the Supreme Court decision on Uber drivers, also looking at the issues involved in getting people back to work after the Covid pandemic and Richard Nicholas a commercial update – including the use of crypto assets, cookie claims and some of the latest case law.
