The next ELAI seminar will take place on 25th July 2018 in the offices of Eversheds Sutherland, who are kindly hosting us for the evening. Registration will be from 6pm with the seminar to begin at 6-30pm.

The seminar will address the topical issues of Retirement Age and potential related Age Discrimination. There have been a number of recent cases in this area and, as a Committee, we believe it is something that members are experiencing, and having to advise on, with increased regularity.  

We are delighted to have an expert panel of speakers.

Joanne Hyde, Partner and Head of Employment Law at Eversheds Sutherland, will discuss how to manage the retirement process from a legal and HR point of view. Joanne will also comment on some of the recent case law, both domestic and European.

Sile Larkin, Registrar & Head of Legal Services of the WRC, will discuss the Code on Longer Working which the WRC published late last year. Sile will look at the necessity for the Code and what it provides for.

Conor O’Donovan, senior actuary and consultant in Willis Towers Watson, will draw on his expertise in a wide range of pension related topics and provide a practical analysis of the challenges facing Employers who he regularly advises on all aspects of their retirement benefit packages including benefit redesign projects and liability management exercises. Conor is a Scheme Actuary and advisor for a number of pension scheme Trustee boards and a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries in Ireland.

If you have not yet renewed your membership for the year, you can do so on the website at any time, and we would encourage you to do so before the seminar.

We look forward to seeing you on the night for a very interesting and topical talk.
