Insights of a Tribunal Lay Member – what the Tribunal expects!

Join us for the 'Insights of a Tribunal Lay Member', a joint event hosted by Mills & Reeve and The Akenham Partnership. 

Our key speaker for the evening is Quentin Colborn, an MBA qualified seasoned HR professional and Lead People Consultant at Akenham. Quentin will be sharing his insights and experiences gained as an Employment Tribunal Lay Member since 2005, providing valuable perspectives on employment tribunal proceedings including:

• What knowledge/experience non-legal members (NLMs) bring to the process

• The role of NLMs in decision-making

• How and why the Panel ask questions

• Preparing the Judgement

• Tribunals really don’t like to see...

• Tribunals really do like to see...

Following Quentin’s talk we will host a panel session where Quentin and our very own Pili Fernandez-Mahoney will answer questions about the Tribunal experience and recount some of their more memorable moments. Pili is an experienced advocate in the Tribunal and used to appearing in front of the Tribunal on complex multi day cases.

This event would be of interest to those with responsibility for Human Resources and for case management of Tribunals. It's aimed at helping you to prepare your managers and case so that it lands in the best possible way with the Tribunal, improving its chances of success. There will also be networking opportunities over drinks and canapés.
