Welcome to the September edition of Nexus, the newsletter from Baker McKenzie’s UK Japan Connect (UKJC). If you missed out on any of our earlier editions, you can read them here.
Our lead insight article this month comes from Baker McKenzie’s Employment team who explore three key reforms across the UK’s employment law landscape that Japanese employers should plan for, namely a new trade union right of access, an enhanced duty to prevent sexual harassment, and changes to unfair dismissal protection. We also hear from Ed Poulton, the Managing Partner of Baker McKenzie London, who shares his insights on leadership and navigating change, opportunities for Japanese businesses in the UK and wider EMEA region, and the growing complexity of cross-border disputes.
As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future topics and features. Please contact us through the usual channels with any comments or questions.
