What's being covered?
Single sex spaces in the workplace: balancing rights, risks and reality
Single sex facilities at work raise complex and often competing equality considerations. In this session we will consider the statutory framework, key risk areas and how employers can approach decision making in a legally defensible way.

Unfair dismissal at a turning point: case law trends and the next legislative shift
The session will look at the most important recent unfair dismissal decisions and the themes that are starting to emerge in tribunal and appellate reasoning. It will then focus on what those themes could mean in practice as we move towards implementation of the new Employment Rights Act. The focus is on how risk, advice, and strategy may need to adapt.
Jennifer Wright, Shoosmiths
TUPE in practice: changing terms and conditions of employment and other tricky areas
In this session we will discuss the practical implications of TUPE and what impact, if any, the Employment Rights Act 2026 is likely to have on transactions involving a relevant transfer. We will cover:
- employee protections pre and post transfer including changing terms and conditions and the interplay with the Employment Rights Act 2026 and protection from dismissal
- the informing and consulting process; representatives; measures; and when the requirement to 'consult' is triggered
- transferee and transferor liabilities, including: who is liable for what: and common provisions in commercial contracts

Immigration consideration for employment lawyers
