Welcome to our inaugural Politics and Practice podcast, the first in a series of podcasts which will look at the relationship between politics and law, and how issues can affect clients. In this first episode Lord Richard Harrington, a member of the House of Lords, former Business Minister and consultant at Stephenson Harwood, is joined by Partner and Head of Employment Paul Reeves to discuss the Government's Employment Rights Bill which was published in October 2024. 

Described as a 'once in a generation' overhaul of employee rights, Lord Harrington and Paul discuss the political motivations behind the sweeping changes, what clients need to bear in mind, and how clients can review their policies and engage with the consultation processes.
