We have been recognised for the work we do

In my recent blog, I said that we would be issuing a series of ebriefings and blogs highlighting issues with the Procurement Bill. This is the first of these.

Contractors and delivery partners are facing a ‘perfect storm’ in many cases with a number of factors directly impacting upon the profitability of their work.

Worker status, like Piers Morgan, is one of those things that we think has gone away and then it pops up again!

We are seeing a steady trickle of decisions focused around the issue of flexible working requests or employer requirements for changes to working patterns (both pre and post the pandemic).

For those of us who have endured a choppy cross channel journey, the mention of P&O Ferries will invoke some nauseous memories.

Successive generations have witnessed seismic shifts in the workplace; post-war it was the return of the soldiers and the impact on working women who had to work in their place.

A pass-through agreement is and common way for academies to share the risks of participation in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) when outsourcing services.

Manchester-based law firm Anthony Collins Solicitors (ACS) has been appointed by The Growth Company to support its business development and in-house legal teams.

Social purpose law firm Anthony Collins Solicitors (ACS) has announced three partner appointments in May.

Libby Hubbard is joined by Anna Dabek to explore employment case law and in particular to discuss the Harpur Trust holiday case in anticipation of the long-awaited Supreme Court decision.
