LegalVision – The HR Risks We Find in Growing Businesses: A 2026 Legal Health Check – VIRTUAL
2026-08-27 10:30 - 11:15 | Online
Informal HR practices may work when your team is small, but as your business grows, they can create serious risks.
Outdated contracts, unread policies and untrained managers can quickly turn a routine workplace issue into an unfair dismissal or underpayment claim that is costly and time-consuming to defend.
To help you identify and address these gaps before they become claims, LegalVision is hosting a free webinar on The HR Risks We Find in Growing Businesses: A 2026 Legal Health Check.
Join us on Thursday, 27 August, when Jackson Downer (Senior Lawyer) and Matthew McKeon (Lawyer) will discuss:

contract gaps at scale: how informal hiring, verbal offers and outdated templates leave you open to unfair dismissal and underpayment claims;
policies and training that hold up: what clear policies on bullying, discrimination, social media and safety do to show you took reasonable steps;
putting policies into practice: moving them off the shelf and into daily use so they stand up under scrutiny; and
performance management and terminations: giving managers the tools to handle these without creating unfair dismissal or general protections risk.
