Clarke Willmott to advise Institute of Recruiters

MANCHESTER law firm Clarke Willmott has been selected to provide legal expertise to the Institute of Recruiters (IOR) and its members in a five year exclusive deal.

This is the first time the recruitment body has selected a legal practice to sit on its panel of expert advisors and will see Clarke Willmott giving guidance on all aspects of employment and recruitment legislation.

The firm will provide IOR members with a legal helpline, an ‘ask the expert’ service, standard legal documents, webinar briefings and seminars.

Lindsey Bell, partner at Clarke Willmott, said: “People working in the recruitment industry need the very latest, up to the minute advice on recruitment specific legislation as this area is evolving so rapidly.

“It’s particularly easy for recruitment agencies no matter how big or small to get caught out by all the red tape surrounding the constantly evolving area of recruitment and employment law so we will be there to give them the help they need.”

Azmat Mohammed, IOR group president and chief executive, said: “In a world where it’s very easy to fall prey to advice from non legally qualified people on matters of law, working together with Clarke Willmott will ensure IOR members enjoy the very best legal support and guidance.”
