Personnel Experts in Employment Law (PEEL) Club
| ‘Excellent value for money. No other arrangements exist for keeping up to date on the complexities of modern employment law. To have the detail explained , the opportunity to discuss your own issues , to share and interact with other HR Professionals is unsurpassed. The Peel Club puts employment law in context, such that you understand the wider legal environment and at the same time how it applies on a day to day basis. The Peel Club is dynamic and an excellent reference source.' |

Keep informed and avoid the pitfalls in employment law
Designed specifically for senior personnel and employee relations professionals, the PEEL Club provides a cost effective and enjoyable way of keeping you up-to-date with the increasingly fast pace of developments in UK and EU employment law.
The PEEL Club is the only one of its kind, running successfully for over 20 years, it has members drawn from leading organisations in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
The idea of the Club is a simple one: members meet for seven half-day sessions throughout the year in London and Edinburgh to discuss and deal with appropriate contemporary issues about employment law.
