Resumen de Pearson seeks firms for HR panel

• The world this week Pearson is gearing up to appoint up to five firms to its new labour and employment panel as it looks to finalise its first UK legal roster by the end of the year.

  The FTSE100 publisher intends to select between two and five firms to its employment panel, tasked with supporting the company's HR legal capability.

  A number of HR lawyers already work in-house at Pearson and are therefore involved in running the panel process, along with New York-based general counsel Bjarne Tellmann and deputy GC for litigation and regulatory affairs Mike McQueeney.

  The panel process was started in late summer, just after invitations for tender were sent to firms for places on Pearson's corporate and IT and commercial panels
