Lawspeed confirms that Lee Manning, Partner at the accountancy firm Raffingers, and Stuart Armstrong, Business Development Executive at the insurance brokers Lockton Insurance, will both be presenting at the IR35 conference set to take place in London on 19th September.
Ravi Murphy, director of Lawspeed said “We are delighted that Lee, who will be talking about financial implications for contractors, agencies and finance directors, and Stuart, who will provide insight into insurance in the context of IR35, have agreed to speak.”
“For many years the use of contractors has limited focus on agency conduct regulations and agency worker regulations. However, it’s not all about IR35, and because of the likely shift of emphasis resulting from the new rules, these regulations and consequent compliance will become more relevant. This conference is designed to approach all aspects in the round. For that reason, as well as a speaker from HMRC on IR35 itself, the head of employment at EAS (from BEIS) will be talking about agency regulations and changes also set for April 2020.”
Murphy concluded “This all day conference brings together key speakers and a presentation from our own team of legal experts on IR35, employment status as well as agency worker and contractor related compliance. It is designed to provide attendees with a rounded ‘no holds barred’ 360 degree understanding of the issues arising from the new IR35 rules set to apply in April 2020.”
