About this Event
Employment legislation is undergoing its most significant period of reform in decades. With key provisions of the Employment Rights Act 2025 already in force and further changes rapidly approaching, staying up to date is more important than ever.
Join us for our popular annual employment and immigration law updates, designed specifically for HR professionals and business leaders. This year's seminar will provide a practical review of the employment and immigration developments that have shaped 2026, together with a look ahead at the key reforms expected in 2027 and beyond.
Our employment and immigration specialists will explain what the latest legal changes mean in practice, identify key risks for employers and provide practical guidance on preparing your organisation for the next wave of reform.
Topics for our 2026 event will include:
- the Employment Rights Act 2025 implementation programme and what is still to come
- the introduction of six-month unfair dismissal rights and removal of the cap on compensation
- new duties on employers to prevent third-party harassment
- guaranteed hours contracts and rights for zero and low-hours workers
- a round up of key changes to trade union rights and industrial relations
- fire and rehire restrictions and how this will impact contractual changes
- employment tribunal trends and what employers can expect from a growing tribunal caseload
- key employment law cases from the last 12 months and their practical implications
- latest immigration developments, including expected policy direction under a Burnham premiership, expanded Right to Work rules, updates on settlement rules and business compliance requirements.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions and raise workplace challenges with our employment and immigration law specialists.
Places are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that we can only accept a maximum of four bookings per organisation at each event.
