From player mobility and contractual leverage to managerial dismissals and employment protections, the Act has the potential to reshape key aspects of the professional game.
Members of Littleton Chambers have explored these issues in a three-part series for LawInSport:
📖 Football and the Employment Rights Act 2025: A Structural Reset for Employment
📖 Greater Player Power? How the Employment Rights Act 2025 May Impact Football’s Labour Market
📖 Managers to Benefit from Greater Protection from Unfair Dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 2025
Together, the articles examine how one of the most significant employment law reforms in recent years could affect clubs, players, managers and governing bodies across football.
The series builds on Littleton Chambers’ recent webinar on the Employment Rights Act 2025 and football, combining to provide insights from leading experts Paul Gilroy KC, Steven Flynn, Georgina Churchhouse, Tim Goodwin, Sophie Cashell and Mia Chaudhuri-Julyan.
