Webinar: Reviewing the Employment Rights Act and its impact on UK employers

Described as the “biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation”, significant changes to UK employment law are on the horizon following the introduction of the Employment Rights Act, which will bring wide reaching employment law changes throughout 2026 and into 2027.

This webinar will explore what these reforms mean in practice for businesses across the media, entertainment and technology sectors, examining the key changes ahead and the potential impact on workforce engagement, workplace practices and organisational decision‑making.

Presented by our employment law specialists, the session will provide a practical overview of the new legal landscape and highlight the risks, obligations and opportunities employers should be aware of as these changes take effect.

We will cover (amongst other things):

• The overhaul of unfair dismissal rights, how these changes will work and what they may mean for engaging and managing staff.
• New anti-harassment protections and the restrictions on gagging clauses.
• Workplace flexibility and whether the reforms actually introduce any notable changes for employers.
• Restructurings and redundancies, including new requirements and the increased liabilities for getting things wrong.
• An overview of the new measures designed to strengthen trade union rights.

This session is designed for business leaders, HR professionals and those involved in employment decision-making across media, entertainment, sport, technology and related sectors.
