Employment Claims in the UK and US, A Comparison of Two Common Law Regimes with Lisa Patmore and Matt Durham

Updated: Mar 20

How do liabilities arising from employment relationships differ between the U.K. and U.S. legal systems?



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, I interview 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.
