Unfair dismissal law is changing — and it’s a big shift.

From 1 January 2027, the qualifying period will reduce from two years to six months. The Government estimates that an extra 6.3m employees will gain protection.

There’s more to consider. The removal of the statutory cap on compensatory awards will expose employers to uncapped claims.

For employers, this creates both risk and responsibility. Now is the time to review your approach and prepare with confidence.

  In this webinar, our award-winning employment law specialists explain what’s changing, what it means for you and how to respond in practice. You’ll leave with clear, practical steps that you and your team can act on now.

Key topics include: 

- the background to the reforms
- how the law is changing
- what this means for recruitment, probation and performance management
- the growing role of line managers
- how workplace culture may be affected 
- the significance of this for senior executive exits 
- the impact on employment tribunal claims.
