IR35 Masterclasses

IR35 and supply chain compliance

Lawspeed masterclasses delivered by Lawspeed IR35 lawyers are online events open to no more than 6 individuals at a time. Whilst the presentations provide detailed information, our collaborative ’round the table’ approach encourages discussion and questions that address specific issues that attendees may have, so tailoring the attendees’ knowledge of the subject for their business operations. Our IR35 masterclasses have been described by attendees as “excellent”, “informative & useful”, “hugely insightful”, and “well worthwhile”, with attendees going on to book next stage events.

Depending on your decision about using contractors, IR35 will impact your business and may bring a range of different regulations into play. See an introduction to the IR35 rules here. Although the masterclasses are shown in stages below they can be combined and/or tailored to suit.
