Join us for our ThinkHouse Autumn Seminar 2024, taking place on 12 September in Birmingham.

Our ThinkHouse seminars are tailored exclusively to the needs of in-house counsel and offer a forum to network with those in similar roles, whilst keeping up to date with the latest legal developments, and gaining practical insight into how the latest issues could impact your business.

What a new government means for business

Robert Breedon will guide us through some of the key legislative changes proposed by the new Government as set out in its pre-election manifesto and the recent King's Speech. He will be joined by Jim Pickard, deputy political editor at the Financial Times who will provide his thoughts and insight on the potential benefits and challenges of the proposed changes.

Back to the Future? The biggest planned change in employment law in a generation

Back to the Future? The biggest planned change in employment law for half a century described by the new Labour Government as "the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation”. We are promised two new employment related bills - an Employment Rights Bill and a draft Equality (Race and Disability Bill). During this session Anna Fletcher will discuss what this might mean for the world of work, your business, and your workforce.

Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA)

Despite it being nearly a year since ECCTA became law, there’s still some way to go before it is fully in force.  In this session Sharon Ayres will give you the latest updates on implementation and answer the questions you're really interested in: What do the new transparency requirements look like?  How do we make sure our company is compliant? With the phased implementation, what do we need to focus on now?

Boilerplate in contracts 

"What is the point in all that boring &!@* at the end my contract, and why is it standing between me and lunch?" David Lowe and Sean Adams will discuss some of the key boilerplate clauses found in many commercial contracts, and why its important to pay attention to them.

We hope you can join us and look forward to welcoming you.
