How to specialise in employment law

Anna

Hi there,

First post.

I have a HR Generalist background over the last eight years and have just completed my Level 5 CIPD diploma. I really enjoyed the Employment Law module and would like to specialise in this area of HR.

Can anyone advise me what job titles incorporates employment law and what further qualifications I may require to specialise in this area?

Any help or advise apperciated.

Thanks

Anna

    Employment law is a relatively small niche area. Very big organisations are as likely to employ an employment lawyer as a HR law specialist. More common, I think, would be those in this area being in ER roles dealing with D&G activity or large scale projects such as TUPEs. Alternatively some of the bigger outsourcing specialists offer opportunities.

    However a very strong foundation in employment law is useful for almost any HR generalist.

    In terms of further study the CIPD fo s certificate in employment law or there are sone very good part time /distance learning degrees if they rock your boat

    But I would be clear first where you want to go and ensure this would help.
