  • Simply the Best

    And better than all the rest!

    As a lawyer and senior TU Rep it is extremely helpful to get detailed analysis of caselaw, legislation and other employment law issues from a more employer focussed perspective.

  • Very useful

    This podcast is great for keeping up with developments in employment law. Nick also seems like an interesting person, and often gives you a bit of random information about his leisure interests at the end, which does act as a bit of an incentive to keep listening! Thanks for providing this podcast Nick. I wish there were similar ones in other areas of law.
