Employment Claims in the UK and US, A Comparison of Two Common Law Regimes

The U.S. and U.K. legal systems share many similarities rooted in their common law heritage. However, important differences have developed over time, including those related to liabilities that arise from employment relationships. In this episode, Kent Schmidt interviews Dorsey Partners Lisa Patmore, based in London, and Matt Durham, based in Salt Lake City. They address employment litigation and discuss how HR professionals, lawyers, and others responsible for managing these claims must understand the distinctions between the U.S. and U.K. legal structures.
