Don't let employment law changes blindside your business—New Zealand's leading HR Law Masterclass Conference returns this September 2025 with a rigorous interactive format that could save you from costly compliance disasters.  

 

Seven major legislative shifts will fundamentally alter how you manage employees—from new dismissal procedures for high earners and revised without prejudice discussions to Holidays Act reform and the government's proposed contractor test—with many changes already in motion, meaning HR professionals who miss these critical updates risk making decisions based on outdated legal frameworks that could expose their organisations to significant financial penalties, legal disputes, and reputational damage that could have been entirely preventable. 

This isn't just another conference—our 19th edition features hands-on roundtable discussions, scenario-based workshops, and real-world case studies where you'll work directly with expert employment lawyers to navigate the exact situations that will challenge your business tomorrow, ensuring you're equipped with the practical, actionable insights needed to protect your organisation when these changes hit and your competitors are scrambling to catch up.

Reasons to Attend:

  • Avoid being caught off-guard by the seven major legislative changes that will blindside unprepared HR teams this year. 

  • Secure direct access to New Zealand's top employment lawyers—your only chance to get expert guidance on the changes affecting your business right now. 

  • Eliminate legal blind spots across high-risk areas before they become expensive litigation disasters for your organisation. 

  • Update your employment relations approach with current legal frameworks—outdated strategies will leave you exposed. 

  • Navigate the latest case law and precedents that are reshaping employment decisions—miss these and risk costly missteps. 

  • Test your response to complex scenarios through hands-on role plays—because when these situations arise, you won't get a second chance. 

  • Access collective expertise in facilitated discussions with peers facing identical challenges—insights you can't get anywhere else. 

  • Walk away with current, legally-sound strategies and tools—while your competitors scramble to catch up on changes they missed.
