Unfortunately, this event is now at capacity.

Is your business aware of upcoming changes to employment legislation? Do you have measures in place to better understand business immigration?

As you may be aware, the Labour party plan to introduce legislation into Parliament in the Autumn as part of their plan to “make work pay”.

This will represent the biggest change to employment law in more than 25 years, giving both employees and workers significant new protections. Immigration also remains a hot topic, and as the landscape of immigration law evolves, it’s crucial for businesses to stay informed and compliant.

Employers will need to consider adapting their current practices, policies and processes to comply with the new laws.

Join Reed and speakers Alex Christen and Richard Thomas from Capital Law, as they provide an update and guidance on employment law changes, helping HR professionals understand the new employment and business immigration environment.

  • Stay informed about the latest changes in employment and immigration law and how they will impact your business operations

  • Discover actionable strategies to ensure your business remains compliant and avoids potential legal challenges

  • Understand how potential changes to immigration may impact who you recruit and how

  • Engage with legal experts to get your pressing questions answered

  • Connect with fellow professionals to exchange ideas, share best practices, and build valuable relationships.
