The Food and Drink team would like to invite you to a breakfast seminar.

Our guest speaker Chris Milton will be discussing the importance of managing risk from a brands perspective of trademarks given his experience whilst at Thatchers and having Stephens Scown as their team in taking on Aldi. There are learnings to share in minimising the risk and maximising the protection of the value of a brand.

With the publication of the Employment Rights Bill paving the way for “once in a generation changes” in employment law with the arrival of several new ‘day 1 rights’, including unfair dismissal protection, payment of Statutory Sick Pay, eligibility for paternity and parental leave and flexible working becoming the default, there is a lot for employers to be getting on top of. Added to this, we’ve had recent legislation on the distribution of tips and a positive obligation to prevent sexual harassment. Chris Morse speaks on how employers should best navigate this changing landscape.

Steve Panton will provide an update on regulatory compliance and risk management requirements, and new health and safety & food safety-related laws coming into force, that food and drink sector businesses need to be aware of in 2025.

RSVP by Monday 20th January 2025.
