Coronavirus: Employment and Commercial Impacts for Local Authorities - April 2020
Coronavirus has most definitely arrived in the UK, with social distancing taking effect in towns and workplaces across the country. As it's highly unlikely that the threat of coronavirus is going to disappear any time soon, local authorities will experience various challenges when it comes to managing the situation. In this webinar, Rebecca McGuirk, Employment Partner at Trowers & Hamlins LLP, discusses the key considerations that Councils need to consider in relation to their staff as the epidemic takes hold including communication, absenteeism, sick-pay and workplace closures. Louis Sebastian, a Senior Associate in Trowers' Corporate Commercial team, discusses some of the commercial implications including concluding commercial negotiations during the outbreak, force majeure issues and supporting existing contractors
