A rushed decision, an undocumented concern or a probation review left too late can create difficulties for employers.

With employment law changing, it is a good time to review how workplace decisions are made, recorded and communicated.

In the autumn/winter 2026 edition of LawNet’s Business First magazine, Karen Holden explores how employers can reduce the risk of disputes as reforms under the Employment Rights Act 2025 take effect.

Her feature looks at decisions that overlap with family leave, preventing workplace harassment and managing probation, explaining why evidence, timing and early advice matter.

For business owners and managers, it is a useful reminder that addressing concerns early can make a real difference if a decision is later challenged.

Meet Jill Lipscombe, Partner and Head of Dispute Resolution at Lamb Brooks.

Jill has worked in dispute resolution since 2008, acting for individuals and businesses across a wide range of contentious matters. Her experience includes property and commercial disputes, landlord and tenant matters, contentious probate, contract disputes and debt recovery.

When a dispute arises, protecting your position and understanding the options available can make a difficult situation feel much more manageable. Jill combines a supportive approach with the ability to be firm when needed, always keeping her client’s priorities at the centre of the matter.

Her work has included resolving a commercial contract claim worth more than £1.5 million through mediation, successfully defending beneficiaries against a claim on a Will, and regularly representing landlord clients in the County Court.

Away from work, Jill loves hiking, theatre and dystopian novels. She is less enthusiastic about littering, drizzle and bad coffee!

Selling a property can become especially stressful when the circumstances around the transaction are complex.

This recent feedback for Allison Smith highlights the importance of being responsive, reliable and attentive throughout the process, particularly when clients need reassurance that things are being handled carefully and without unnecessary delay.

We are delighted to see Allison’s work recognised in this way.

Protecting what matters often starts with the decisions made before anything goes wrong.

For a family, that might mean reviewing a Will or putting the right arrangements in place for the future. For a business, it could mean checking contracts, protecting key relationships or making sure responsibilities are properly documented.

There is rarely one single moment when everything needs attention. More often, it is about keeping things under review as life and business change.

Lamb Brooks advises individuals, families and businesses across a wide range of legal matters, helping clients put stronger foundations in place for whatever comes next.

Planning a home extension can be exciting, but if the work is close to a shared boundary, even a small area of uncertainty can lead to a much bigger dispute.

Questions around where the legal boundary actually lies, whether proposed works could encroach onto neighbouring land, and what access may be needed are best considered before building work begins.

In our latest article, Jill Lipscombe, Partner & Head of Dispute Resolution, explains what homeowners should consider when a boundary is unclear, including title plans, survey evidence, planning permission and the Party Wall Act.

Buying a home, growing a business or changing family arrangements can each bring more than one legal question with them.

A house move might prompt you to review your Will. Business growth could mean thinking about new premises, contracts and employees. Changes within a family can also affect property, finances and plans for the future.

With specialists across both personal and business law, Lamb Brooks can bring the right people together when different areas of advice overlap.

Hoping to be in your new home before Christmas?

If you are buying or selling this autumn, now is a good time to think seriously about the legal side of your move.

Once an offer has been accepted, there is still plenty to happen before the keys change hands. Searches need to come back, enquiries need to be answered, contracts agreed and mortgage requirements dealt with. If something unexpected crops up along the way, that can add further time.

Starting the conveyancing process now can help give you the best chance of keeping your move progressing and identifying any potential issues as early as possible.

The Lamb Brooks Property Law Team handles the sale and purchase of properties of all kinds, from flats and first homes to larger properties and estates. We will keep you informed as your transaction progresses, explain anything that needs your attention and work to keep things moving wherever we can.

Buying a property comes with a lot to keep track of, so having a team that is responsive and thorough can make a real difference.

Growing your team? Here are a few employment law questions worth thinking about before you hire.

Do I legally need an employment contract?
Employees are entitled to a written statement of employment particulars from day one, but a more comprehensive contract can give both sides greater clarity and protection.

When should I seek legal advice during recruitment?
Ideally before the process begins. Reviewing contracts, policies and recruitment steps early can help prevent issues later.

How often should contracts be reviewed?
Regularly, especially when employment law changes or your business evolves.

Can Lamb Brooks support growing businesses on an ongoing basis?
Yes. Our Employment Team can provide ongoing advice, HR support and training as your team grows.
