A Definitive Guide to the Gig Economy & the Law of Status

Introduction

Casual and gig-based work arrangements have been subject to unprecedented levels of attention recently - both in the press and in the courts.

The seminar will also highlight the most significant cases on the horizon and the important points of principle that are yet to be resolved.
