• UK employment law is changing and as an employer, it’s vital to be aware of your new obligations.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 received Royal Assent on 18 December 2025 and is now in force. It has implemented the most consequential changes to employment law in a generation, significantly strengthening employee and trade union rights and placing many new requirements on employers who may need to urgently adapt their working practices.

Capital Law is here to help you navigate this new era. We’ve designed a bespoke suite of training sessions with employers in mind, covering all aspects of the Employment Rights Act to make sure you’re ready to respond to the new legal landscape.

How does the training work?

Hosted in person at our Cardiff office, you’ll learn from our Partner, Richard Thomas, Associate, Evie Williams, and a team of employment lawyers who advise employers on a daily basis.

In addition to interactive seminar-style teaching, you will benefit from real-life case study analysis and practical discussions with our lawyers on how to deal with all employment law issues.

Alongside the formal training sessions, delegates will also have the opportunity to connect with peers facing similar workplace challenges, share practical experiences and benchmark approaches with other organisations in an informal setting over lunch prepared by Capital Law’s in-house chefs.
