What makes us different?

We understand that choosing the right Employment Law training provider can be challenging, but with our unmatched expertise, local focus, and trusted partnerships, Legal Island is the clear choice for workplace compliance training.

Expert Guidance

At Legal Island, we specialise in workplace compliance training. Founded in 1998 by a leading employment law barrister, we've focused on equipping HR professionals with expert training in employment law and compliance - and we continue to do so today.

We're Local

We’re local. In Northern Ireland, much of the employment law news relates to Great Britain, but it often doesn’t apply here. We cut through the noise, providing clear, accurate, and relevant information tailored to Northern Ireland’s specific legal landscape.

Independent

By not employing trainers directly, we’re free to partner with the foremost experts in their fields. This means our clients benefit from training delivered by the best Northern Ireland has to offer, including top barristers, solicitors, and judges. Over the years, we've built trusted relationships with these professionals to ensure you receive unparalleled expertise.
