This insight highlights the key reforms being introduced by the Employment Rights Act 2025 (Act) that insolvency practitioners should have on their radar when planning future restructurings. It outlines how the Act strengthens employee protections in a number of areas, including unfair dismissal, collective redundancy consultation, dismissal and re-engagement, family-friendly rights and worker protections. It also explains how these changes may increase the procedural complexity and potential cost exposure of restructurings, including higher tribunal penalties and an increased likelihood of claims.
