Join our member Foot Anstey in Bristol, Exeter or London to find out what steps your organisation should be taking to stay compliant and protected under the new Employment Rights Act 2025.
In the final days before Christmas, the Employment Rights Bill was passed by the House of Lords and received Royal Assent. With major reforms taking effect from April 2026 and January 2027, with some already in force, this marks the most significant overhaul of UK employment law in a generation.
To help employers prepare, Foot Anstey are hosting a comprehensive briefing that will walk you through the key reforms, explain what they mean in practice and discuss what steps you can take to stay compliant.
No matter the size of your organisation, if you employ staff in the UK, early planning is essential. This session will equip you with a clear roadmap to understand what’s coming and how to get ready.
What to expect:
- A clear overview of upcoming reforms
- Practical guidance on immediate and longer‑term actions
- Expert insights to help you plan confidently
We hope you can join Foot Anstey in Exeter, Bristol or London. If you cannot attend one of these locations, please contact their Events team to let them know where you are based. If there is demand, they can bring this session to a city near you!
