Unrivalled for clarity, authority and cost effectiveness, the CLP Legal Practice Guides explain in detail the principles of each area of legal practice. Each title is complemented by worked examples, checklists, model forms and relevant legislation.

Published annually, these user-friendly guides are ideal points of reference for students studying the Legal Practice Course and for practitioners, whether newly qualified or as a means of keeping up with the latest developments.

Employment Law introduces the issues involved in the regulation of employees and their relations with their employers. It explains the framework governing employment contracts, dismissal procedures and redundancy payments. The book also covers TUPE, discrimination law and family-friendly legislation, as well as practice and procedure. The book has been comprehensively updated to take account of all the main recent and proposed developments in employment law and practice. It also takes account of the continuing impact of Brexit and the EU Withdrawal Act in the employment law sphere.

The book is up to date as at 1 October 2023, although account has been taken of some later developments as at 11 November 2023.
