With the Employment Rights Act 2025 receiving Royal Assent in December 2025, the UK is preparing for one of the most significant overhauls of employment legislation in recent years. Although the new requirements will be introduced in stages, HR professionals need to be ahead of the curve — understanding the direction of reform, anticipating organisational impact, and ensuring policies and practices remain compliant.
As a specialist UK employment law firm, Sherrards is uniquely positioned to guide HR teams through this changing landscape. Our upcoming cohort of the Sherrards Academy UK Employment Law Course provides the legal clarity, confidence and practical insights HR professionals need to navigate these reforms effectively.
After a recent change in the course dates, you can still secure a place on the 15th Cohort at the frozen rate of £750 + VAT per delegate. Since launching in 2021, we have held our prices steady to ensure continued accessibility to high‑quality, solicitor‑led training. However, from the end of April 2026, course fees will increase to £850 + VAT.
By joining the next cohort now, you’ll lock in the current price and benefit from a £100 saving, while ensuring you are fully up to date with all aspects of UK employment Law.
