EMPLOYMENT LAW

Looking back over 2024 and ahead to 2025

By Greg Burgess Will Walsh

18/02/2025

Our expert employment law team take a look back over important changes and key developments in the law that we saw in 2024, and can still expect to see in 2025. They take you through the key cases of the last 12 months, and cases of note going through the tribunals and courts next year. Their update on new legislation features not just the Labour government’s plans, but also other changes to look out for. This update is also available as a podcast.
