Bellevue Law is delighted to share that our Founder, Florence Brocklesby, has been featured in Real Business in an article exploring how UK employers can prepare for the significant employment law reforms coming into force throughout 2026.
The feature, UK employment law changes – being proactive rather than reactive, highlights the most substantial overhaul to employment rights in decades, driven by the phased roll-out of the Employment Rights Act 2025. The reforms are intended to modernise employment legislation under the Government’s Plan to Make Work Pay, impacting areas such as earlier access to employment rights, expanded parental leave entitlements, and improvements to sick pay for low‑paid workers.
In the article, Florence emphasises the importance for employers, especially SMEs, to devote time and resources to understanding and implementing the changes. Rather than viewing compliance purely as a challenge, Florence highlights that the reforms offer businesses an opportunity to build more inclusive, flexible and high‑performing workplace cultures. Her contribution reinforces Bellevue Law’s commitment to supporting organisations through regulatory change with clarity and practical guidance.
The Real Business piece also notes that businesses must keep pace with changes that begin taking effect from April 2026, with further developments to follow into 2027. Ensuring processes, policies and internal systems are aligned with the new legal framework will be essential for minimising risk and maintaining a positive employee experience.
We’re proud to see Florence’s insights recognised in national business media. As these legislative shifts unfold, Bellevue Law will continue helping employers navigate the complexities with confidence.
