This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of employment law in a private company acquisition cannot be conducted in a vacuum - it requires not only an understanding of employment law but also particular elements of company law. Jackie and Kate have both been delivering training in relation to the corporate and employment issues in private company acquisitions for many years. They noted that there was no text available analysing the key issues specifically aimed at addressing the needs of the employment team - appreciating that to advise effectively on the employment aspects of the transaction, an understanding of both the corporate and employment aspects was vital. Jackie has spent a number of years working with both undergraduates studying company law, corporate trainees and junior corporate assistants and has aimed to cover the historic questions asked by those new to corporate transactions together with clarifying areas of common confusion in a clear, straightforward manner. Kate qualified as a solicitor and now trains lawyers, HR professionals and managers, as well as advising a diverse set of employers from small and medium sized enterprises to charities, PLCs and international companies. The text includes practical tips and points to note throughout, making it extremely useful to a new practitioner to the area.

Download or read book Stephens on Contractual Indemnities written by Richard Stephens and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indemnities have become commonplace in modern commercial contracts, with a modern commercial contract often containing numerous indemnities and using familiar expressions such as "save and hold harmless". However, few lawyers can say with confidence what such expressions mean or even what the advantage of an indemnity is over a straight breach of warranty claim. Along with their popularity in modern drafting, cases are starting to come along at an increasing rate and the courts are having to address exactly what indemnities are and what they mean in practice. Indeed, from these same cases it can be seen what the pitfalls are for the lawyer involved in drafting or negotiating indemnities in commercial contracts. While cases on indemnities go back centuries, this book focuses on the recent cases to draw out the practical implications for lawyers. There are many cases on the subject and the decisions are not always easy to reconcile, but this book tries to draw out the lessons that can be learned from the cases to demystify the indemnity and explain its practical implications. It is strange that the indemnity has become so popular while at the same time there is a dearth of academic or practical literature on the subject. This book attempts to state in a coherent fashion a modern "law of indemnities" for the modern commercial lawyer. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Richard Stephens has been in practice for some forty years, working primarily in the technology sector. He has seen the law from the angle of both a litigator and a non-contentious lawyer and brings to bear his experience in both of these fields. Richard first qualified as a barrister before moving in-house to work at two prominent IT companies in the 90's and then requalifying as a solicitor to become a partner in two City of London Law firms. He set up his own practice in 2004 and since then has worked as mediator and arbitrator in numerous cases as well as establishing himself as a trainer in the area of commercial legal subjects, including a half-day session looking specifically at contractual indemnities. He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, of the British Computer Society and of the Society for Computers & Law (of which he is a past Chair). CONTENTS Chapter One - What Is an Indemnity? Chapter Two - Construction of Indemnities Chapter Three - Recovering Under an Indemnity Chapter Four - Scope of the Indemnity Chapter Five - Liability Issues Chapter Six - How the Law Applies to Different Types of Indemnity

Download or read book Life After Law written by Liz Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice!

Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
