Join the CIPD Branch in Leicestershire for the launch of our 2026–27 events programme and an essential employment law update.

The CIPD Leicestershire Branch is delighted to welcome you to the first event in our 2026–27 programme, hosted by our new Branch Chair, Louise Lennon.

Join Louise and the Employment Team at Howes Percival for an informative and practical Autumn Employment Law Update, designed for people professionals, HR leaders and those responsible for managing people and employment matters within their organisations.

The session will explore recent and upcoming developments in employment law and what they mean in practice for employers and HR professionals. In particular, we will provide the latest insights into the Employment Rights Act as it continues on its path to becoming law, including the key changes people professionals should be aware of and consider preparing for.

We will also look at some of the latest key Employment Tribunal decisions in an interactive case law quiz, giving you the opportunity to test your knowledge and consider the practical implications of recent cases.

This is a great opportunity to:

Get up to date with important employment law developments.

Understand what upcoming changes could mean for your organisation and people practices.

Hear practical insights from the Howes Percival Employment Team.

Test your knowledge through our employment case law quiz.

Network with fellow people professionals from across Leicestershire.

Meet Louise and hear more about the CIPD Leicestershire Branch's 2026–27 events programme.

Whether you are an experienced HR professional, a people manager or have responsibility for employment matters within your organisation, this session will provide a useful and practical overview of the employment law landscape and the issues that matter to your organisation.

We look forward to welcoming you.
