‘A SILK’S EYE VIEW OF THE EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS ACT’ WITH DAVID READE KC

We would be delighted if you could join us for Dutton Gregory’s Employment Breakfast Briefing on Wednesday 21 October 2026 at the Hilton Southampton, Utilita Bowl.

This free breakfast event will offer practical insight into the new Employment Rights Act 2025, with keynote speaker David Reade KC presenting A Silk’s Eye View of the Employment Rights Act. David is widely regarded as a leading silk. Lawyers have described David as “a magnificent presence”, “sharp-witted” and “vivacious, bold and brilliant”, so this event offers a valuable opportunity to hear directly from one of the UK’s leading employment law barristers.

David Reade KC will offer not just a legal update, but a senior barrister’s perspective on what the recent changes are likely to mean in practice for employers. His session will focus on the practical steps for employers, the issues most likely to generate disputes, and the wider impact these reforms may have on workplace decision-making.

For employers, business leaders and HR professionals, this is a rare chance to hear informed, strategic commentary from a barrister widely recognised for his commercial approach, depth of knowledge and ability to make complex issues clear and accessible.
