Following the hugely successful session held in February 2025, this is a follow up session with Herrington Carmichael to take us through the latest updates and progress of the upcoming (sooner than we think) Employment Rights Bill.

Join us in-person at the office of Herrington Carmichael law firm in Farnborough on Wednesday 15 October where we will hear from Alistair McArthur, Partner - Head of Employment, and Darren Smith, Partner – Employment for a fun and information packed session to understand and unpack the upcoming Employment Rights Bill.

Points to be covered in the session include:

• How and where the bill currently is,
• Latest updates on the ERB
• What this means for HR professionals
• Interactive Q & A session

There will also be an opportunity to meet local people professionals in the networking session before the main event and share insights!
