Reaction from the Labour Party conference: What does Burnham’s agenda mean for your business?

30 Sep 2026

With a new Prime Minister in place, organisations across every sector in the UK will be asking what the change in leadership means for their business, strategy and risk profile. In this Senior Counsel session, we’ll discuss the key policy, economic and regulatory developments for CEOs and executive teams arising out of the first months of Andy Burnham’s premiership and his first Labour party conference as Prime Minister. The discussion will consider the questions boards are likely to be asking and the emerging risks and opportunities legal teams need to have on their radar.
