The Law Association of New Zealand

Burning Issues in Employment Law Forum (Livestream)

The Burning Issues in Employment Law Forum returns, with scalding-hot content to light your fire!

Against a landscape alight with legislative change, this year’s edition will fan the flames of four smouldering subjects:

  • 2026: Where Employment law is heading
  • Retrospectivity: how the new law will be applied in circumstances where there are no transitional provisions
  • Reinstatement: what it will look like under the new law
  • Contribution: what it means in the ‘new age’

Let our experienced lineup of presenters ignite your interest, enflame your edification, and kindle your questions.

Learning outcomes

  • Gain insights into the immediate future of employment law in Aotearoa.
  • Become better apprised of how the new retrospectivity law will be applied in circumstances where there are no transitional provisions.
