“I thoroughly enjoyed the six week Advanced Employment Law Short Course at the Institute of Professional Legal Studies convened by barristers Emma McIlveen and Ryan Cushley. It was an insightful and interesting course which covered many complex topics within employment law including discrimination, whistleblowing and equal pay claims. The course was delivered by several experts in the area including judges, barristers and solicitors. ”
