Navigating the Employment Rights Act 2025: What in-house legal teams need to know
Building on the continued success of our In-House Lawyers events in Bristol, we are excited to announce our next event focussing on the new Employment Rights Act.
Join us for the first of our series of exclusive legal briefing and roundtable discussions with Fergus Currie, (Employment Barrister), Jainika Patel (Senior Associate), and Ella Sheppard (Senior Associate), as we unpack the transformative Employment Rights Act and its implications for in-house legal teams.
- Unfair dismissal rights and flexible working
- Enhanced parental rights and statutory sick pay expansion
- Sexual harassment reforms
The session will also cover:
- Guaranteed hours contracts
- Restrictions on fire-and-rehire practices
- Enforcement – tribunal time limits and the Fair Work Agency
- Changes to protective awards
Whether you're advising on HR policy, restructuring, or ensuring compliance, this event will provide practical insights and strategic guidance to help your organisation prepare for the new legal landscape and offer the opportunity to learn from peers.
You may nominate your organisation’s HR Director or Head of People to attend. Please note that spaces are limited and all attendees are required to register their place.
