In this special ERA-focused edition of The Bellevue Brief, Founder Florence Brocklesby and COO Kay Osborne share how Bellevue Law is preparing for the most significant overhaul of UK employment law in decades.

They discuss the practical, legal and operational challenges posed by the Employment Rights Act, including:

• why ERA planning is a major change-management project
• the importance of leadership buy-in beyond HR
• key organisational risks for employers
• what Bellevue Law is doing internally around recruitment, onboarding, performance management and harassment prevention
• how employers can build a structured, proactive project plan to navigate the reforms

Whether you’re just beginning to assess your ERA exposure or already planning your implementation roadmap, this episode offers practical steps to help you prepare your business for the changes ahead.

Redundancy can be tough on everyone involved – the affected employees, the businesses having to make challenging decisions about valued members of staff, and the managers needing to share bad news. Headcount reductions can also profoundly impact colleagues left behind (which, in turn, can affect culture and morale). In this final episode of our first season of The Bellevue Brief podcast, our founder Florence Brocklesby and senior consultant solicitors Ellie Gilbert and Susie Al-Qassab explore how to manage redundancies ethically, why it matters, and why doing so may be good for business.

In the forth episode of our new podcast, The BellevueBrief, we explore the evolving legal position regarding sexual harassment in the workplace, through the lens of the Worker Protection Act 2023 (“WPA”) and the “preventative duty” it imposes on employers. Bellevue Law’s Florence Brocklesby and Georgina Calvert-Leen unpack what’s changed since that law came into force in October 2024, discuss the impact those changes have had, and look ahead to explore what’s still to come.

In the third episode of our new podcast, The Bellevue Brief, Associate Anjali Malik and Senior Consultant Ann Robson discuss how neurodiversity can be a game changer in the workplace, and why businesses should act now to understand and embrace it.

In this second episode of our new podcast, The Bellevue Brief, Associate Anjali Malik, Founder and Principle Florence Brocklesby, and Senior Consultant Jo Martin unpack the realities of workplace culture in professional services industries - including ethical tensions, systemic flaws, and what responsible leadership looks like in 2025.

In the first episode of Bellevue Law’s new podcast series, The Bellevue Brief, Associate Anjali Malik and Head of Legal Practice Susanne Hartigan explore what to expect from the Employment Rights Bill (ERB), which is being hailed as the biggest overhaul of UK employment law in a generation.
