    LIFE SCIENCE UPDATE: WHERE DNA MEETS DRAMA 🧬 Coming into the back of 2024 and following many changes both within the sector and politically, I thought it would be a good idea to give you and update on the sector and my thoughts on it coming into 2025.. 👇🏻 Some have pointed to a perceived slow down of #lifescience #realestate demand as pent up developments secure planning permission and begin to fill the market. This has lead to a paradoxical situation in some popular areas where space becomes more readily available, but high rental values remain (lifescience space continues to sell in Cambridge for north of £50 per sqft!). 🏗️ Despite this, life sciences continue to be to be a primary focus for the government, with the new administration recently declaring it one of its priority sectors. The key is whether that will translate to the level of investment and policy focus (think planning reforms) required to really create the drive for life science development seen in established clusters such as Cambridge and Oxford. 🏙️ As it happens, last week’s science and technology CoreNet Global UK Chapter talk held in conjunction with British Land delved into the work being done to continue sustainable lifescience development in London. An example was given of a British Land’s very own Triton Square site where life sciences is leading a new focus for the square following Meta’s well publicised exit last year. 🙌🏻 I’m heading to One Nucleus’ Genesis 2024 at 1 Wimpole Street, London next week which is a conference attended by a wide range of key stakeholders, service providers and promising start ups from across the life science sector. Please drop me a message if you fancy catching up there and if you’re not going already, it’s not too late to source a ticket! 🎟️ Greenwoods Legal LLP

    ❓ Do you know what changes are likely to be needed to your policies when the new ‘Day 1’ leave entitlements are introduced? The Employment Rights Bill proposes to remove some of the current eligibility requirements for family-friendly rights as well as introducing a new right to Bereavement Leave. 📌Currently, there is no statutory right to leave following a bereavement, unless you are a parent who loses a child under the age of 18. A new right will be introduced which provides that, from day 1 of employment, an employee will have the right to take time off following the loss of a loved one.    📌 The details around bereavement leave are to be set out in future legislation (following consultation). Currently, we don’t know what relationship the employee must have to the deceased, but it has been stated that the length of leave will be a minimum of one week and the time the leave can be taken must extend to at least 56 days after the person’s death.    📌 The current requirement that an employee must have 26 weeks continuous service to be eligible to take a period of Paternity Leave, and a year’s continuous service to be eligible for Unpaid Parental Leave will be removed, making these a day 1 right subject to giving the required notice.   📌 The current restriction which prevents fathers or partners from being able to take a period of Paternity Leave where Shared Parental Leave has already been taken will also be removed.   ✅ Actions for HRDs: 📌 Be ready to review and update your policies when the changes come in.   📌 When the changes are introduced, ensure managers (and payroll) are aware of the new entitlement to bereavement leave and the changes to eligibility requirements for certain family-friendly rights. 📌 Keep an eye out for any developments and further guidance – particularly in relation to the scope of bereavement leave. Any questions - get in touch for a chat… Click the link in the comments to sign up to our Employment Law Now updates and be the first to receive details of all key employment law developments. 🔗 Follow me on LinkedIn and turn on notifications (click the bell at the top) to make sure you don’t miss next week’s post on changes to SSP - because in HR, especially during times of legislative change, we firmly believe one thing can help make all the difference. #OneThingToThinkAboutThisWeek

    PROPERTY, PROSECCO AND PROGRESS: BPF ANNUAL DINNER I managed to blag a ticket for the British Property Federation annual dinner last week and it didn’t disappoint. It’s attended by key stakeholders from across the real estate industry to discuss all things property in a grand venue with posh grub 🥂 This year the event was held in the magnificent Guildhall, tucked away in the city of London, which has survived two great fires and the blitz but still looks grand. Big thanks to BPF Futures for getting me and my junior colleagues ‘seats at the table!’ 🏛️ Dinner talk inevitably focused on the recent budget with the general feeling that despite real estate not being one of the eight priority sectors recognised by the new government, the sector unpins most of the others and should continue to form an important building block in helping these sectors grow with new and repurposed developments 🧱 If anyone knows of any other property focused dinners coming up, do let me know. I’ve got a brand new tux and need to get some use out of it..! 👔 Greenwoods Legal LLP #ukproperty #ukrealestate

    Just attended a SportsAid lunch in Peterborough where Colin Hendry shared some incredible stories from his football career, along with a very personal and poignant tribute to his late wife. It was a reminder of the strength and resilience that drive us both on and off the field. Two young atheletes received grants today, one for his involvement in boxing and one for athletics. Both hoping to join team GB in the near future. All with the help of SportsAid supporting local talent. Thank you Greenwoods Legal LLP for supporting this cause. We also made an additional donation, and to my surprise, we won a raffle prize! You’ll spot in one the photos the venue had Christmas trees up, which didn’t go unnoticed. In fact, I’ve even convinced my husband to put ours up tomorrow! #SportsAid #SupprtingAthletes #GivingBack #Networking

    Greenwoods Legal LLP had the pleasure of hosting a fantastic teppanyaki networking event at Katana Peterborough last night, and it was truly an evening to remember. From the mesmerizing fire show that kept everyone on the edge of their seats to the incredible food that brought us all together, the night was a perfect blend of fun and connection. I had the pleasure of meeting some new faces and catching up with some existing clients and referrers. A special shout out to Philip Olagunju MBA and Joe Sagoe for attending as guests and adding so much energy to the evening - it was a pleasure having you there. And to Leah Pearson and our wonderful events team for making this event such a success. Events like this remind me of the power of sharing experiences—not just business cards. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a special evening. Check out the snapshots from the night! #Networking #Teppanyaki #Peterborough #CommunityConnections
