January 29 @ 08:30
February 5 @ 12:00
Join us for our annual employment law and health & safety update
Your essential briefing for the major legal changes coming in 2026
2026 marks one of the most significant shifts in employment law in over a decade, with the Employment Rights Bill beginning to take effect. This seminar will bring you fully up to speed on the status of the Bill, what its implementation means in practice, and the steps your organisation must start taking now to stay compliant and future-ready. We will also provide an update on the most recent case law developments and explore how these rulings are shaping employer obligations and influencing day-to-day workplace decision-making.
Why attend?
This seminar will equip you with essential insights and practical guidance on both legislative changes and the latest judicial trends. You will gain a clear understanding of how the Employment Rights Bill and recent case law interact, what risks and opportunities they create, and what proactive measures your organisation should take to stay ahead. Join us to stay informed, protect your workforce, and position your organisation for success as the employment landscape continues to evolve in 2026.
Registration & breakfast will begin at 8:30AM, followed by the presentation starting at 9am.
