Enjoyed learning about employment law in a fun way without having to trawl through long legal documents filled with jargon. This was a great way to get a general overview of Employment Law in the UK

I thought this was a good event - a fun way of covering a lot of ground in the time and testing our knowledge. It's a shame more people didn't attend.

A novel way of getting across some of the implications of recent changes in emploment law. Enjoyable as well as informative.

A very enjoyable interactive session and some of the questions as always with employment law seemed tricky. Serious and very useful but fun as well. It is important to mention that with regards to employment law matters, except for employment law lawyers, most HR practitioners will normally refer to the statutory regulations and policies for guidance as the answers don't always come from on top of the head.

A good way to learn about employment law - very interactive. The TUPE questions were too difficult though!
Submitted by Sarah Denneny, ORR
The format was great to ensure that fun was had by all but I also found that I learnt alot from the sessions particularly the TUPE session. My first event - good to network with others from different professions and sectors - am looking forward to the next one.

Really enjoyed the format of yesterday - made you think and got people talking....not sure they needed to read out each question though. Saying 10 minutes and then we'll go through the answers may have been better. It may have also given more time to sharing the case law information. Information packs useful at the end though

I enjoyed the whole event. I have limited knowledge of this field, found the format very interesting and came away much wiser.

The quiz was well put together and the Paul Hastings team were friendly and personable. If quiz style is used for future events, I would enjoy a wider range of subjects to be covered. Alternatively more space for questions and discussion on 1 or 2 key areas could be good too.
