Thursday, 26 November 2026
Novotel London Tower Bridge, 10 Pepys Street, London, EC3N 2NR
Join us for a morning of expert insight, practical guidance and valuable networking.
We’ll explore two key employment law topics: trade union and redundancy, helping you understand the legal risks, avoid common pitfalls and prepare for upcoming changes.
Trade union rights | Preparing for the new legislation
It has never been easier for a trade union to secure recognition.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 introduces many new trade union rights, including the right of access and duty on employers to inform workers of their right to join a trade union, regardless of whether a union is recognised.
In this session, we’ll help you to understand what the new rights mean for your organisation and their potential impact on your Industrial Relation strategy.
Redundancy in practice | Four key cases and key legal principles
The same process failures appear repeatedly in Employment Tribunal decisions. We’ll examine four key cases, the legal principles behind them and the practical lessons for HR. You’ll leave better equipped to spot common pitfalls, identify weaknesses in your processes and support fairer, more defensible decisions.
Practical insight, discussion and networking
Throughout the morning, you’ll hear directly from employment solicitors who help organisations manage these issues every day. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss challenges facing your HR team and exchange experiences with fellow HR professionals.
