Since 6th April 2026, HMRC’s umbrella company reforms have fundamentally changed how risk, responsibility, and liability are shared across the labour supply chain. What has historically been treated as a third-party compliance issue has become a commercial and reputational concern for both recruitment agencies and their end clients.
In this practical, insightful webinar, we’ll cut through the noise to explain what umbrella reform actually is, why it matters for your organisation, and what steps you should be taking. We’ll explore how joint and several liability is expected to operate in practice, where financial and reputational exposure can arise and why traditional approaches to due diligence, preferred supplier lists and contractual protection may no longer be sufficient.
You’ll learn:
How and where liability may shift between agencies and end clients.
Why the reforms create financial, legal and reputational exposure and how to avoid this.
Real examples of what we're seeing and hearing from clients in the first few days following the introduction of the legislation.
What practical steps organisations should be taking now to protect their business, workers and brand.
There will also be a Q&A at the end of the session to answer any questions you may have.
