Employment law reform is gathering pace, and October 2026 brings another significant wave of change for employers.

From extended Employment Tribunal time limits and strengthened sexual harassment duties to new protections against third-party harassment and trade union access rights, organisations need to be prepared for what's ahead.
In this latest article, Jayme Nicholson, Partner and Head of Employment, explores what these changes mean in practice and the steps employers should be taking now to manage risk and remain compliant.

A fantastic day at our Annual General Meeting yesterday at the Grand Hotel, bringing colleagues together from across the firm to hear key business updates, reflect on our achievements, and look ahead to the opportunities ahead.

A special thank you to Don Armand of Sampson Armand, who joined us as our guest speaker and delivered an engaging and thought-provoking workshop on building trust between leaders, teams and clients. His insights provided plenty of food for thought and valuable takeaways for us all.

It was great to come together for an insightful and inspiring day.

What a buzz throughout the Bay yesterday morning! Fantastic to support the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k as Team Challenge sponsors for another year.

The atmosphere was electric - our team was either on the ground at the start and finish line in Paignton handing out medals to runners or at our Jelly Baby station along the route in Torquay keeping the motivation and encouragement alive.

A huge well done to everyone who took part, a tremendous effort by all – your determination was truly admirable, the route was far from easy, but you all smashed it!

We’re already excited for 2027! 🏅

A fantastic piece of feedback for our business team.

Supporting clients through significant business transactions takes a huge amount of care, communication and collaboration, so it’s always incredibly rewarding to hear that reflected in the client experience.

A big well done to Corri, Kyle and everyone at Kitson Boyce involved in supporting the shareholders of DNH Construction through the sale of the business.

We’re very proud of the team and delighted to see their hard work recognised so positively by the client.

We're delighted to have advised the shareholders of DNH Construction Limited regarding the successful sale of their company to Astra Holding.

Founded in 1987, DNH has built an outstanding reputation as a specialist insurance reinstatement contractor, serving clients across the South West and beyond. Congratulations to Simon Holmes, the Holmes family, Astra Holding and all those involved in reaching this significant milestone.

Corri Pedrick, Partner and Head of the Business Team, commented:

"DNH Construction is an outstanding South West business which has achieved significant growth under the Holmes family's ownership and Simon's leadership. Astra's acquisition recognises both the strength of the business today and its considerable potential for further growth.

Our Business Team were pleased to support the sellers through the sale process and bring the transaction through to a successful completion. A fantastic result for all parties involved."
