ET cases in which employees accuse their employer of disability discrimination have risen by 79% - that's one in eight of all cases! These figures reflect the increasing number of mental health and #neurodiversity diagnoses. Our client in City AM - tinyurl.com/mwwd39jf
New research shows 33,700 people have over £1m sat idle in savings accounts. It's clear the new Chancellor will have to do much more to get people moving their savings out of bank accounts and into UK shares - good to see our client in the Mail on this tinyurl.com/ye27u8z9
The number of complains to #HMRC due to them both making mistakes and causing delays jumped 66% last year. Our client in the Daily Mail and FT Adviser on why HMRC investment is too orientated towards more investigations and not improved customer service: tinyurl.com/vdwpz6ef
#AIM and the #LSE announced reforms to ease the burden on #Nomads which should be welcomed by the market. New research shows 222 companies left AIM in the last 20 years as they couldn’t get a replacement Nomad - good to see our client in CityAM on this tinyurl.com/d33mwxbk
Our client continues expansion with acquisition of two London-based financial advisers adding £135m in AUA bringing the groups total AUA to £650m. Good to see them covered in Money Marketing, Professional Adviser and IFA Magazine: tinyurl.com/22k9hvws
The #Nikkei 225 hits new highs despite the Gulf crisis, partly underpinned by a steep change in fundamentals. Over the last 15 year ROE averaged 8.1% vs 10.5% expected this year. Will next stage of corp gov reforms help sharpen that focus on returns? pressreader.com/article/2815…
Is Angela Rayner’s clearance by #HMRC at odds with broader trends in HMRC investigations especially within the area of #SDLT? Great to see our client featured in the Times discussing SDLT investigations: thetimes.com/money/saving-in…
Client's study shows #cost-of-living crisis has driven a 40% rise in #employment among over-66s in #Ireland since 2020. Our client in the Irish Independent today explores age-related workplace tensions and risks for employers. lnkd.in/edmZVnKT
Great interview between Head of Trade Marks at one of our clients and Professional Wealth Management looking at some of the #brand and #IP issues facing UHNW families

Many thanks to @SimonEngStand for making our press release on the £28billion jump in payroll taxes Roxhill's “press release of the day”. Really appreciate it.
The first year of the increase in #payroll tax has added £28bn in costs for employers. Ouch! Even more than the £24bn expected by the Govt. Unsurprisingly, many employers complain that this has led to more layoffs @The_IoD @britishchambers @CBItweets thisismoney.co.uk/money/mark…
People are rushing to withdraw pension funds as soon as they can to avoid hefty IHT bills.
116,000 of 55-year-olds withdrew a whopping £2.3bn in lump sums.
Labour's IHT changes are pushing many towards lifetime gifts instead.

Wills disputes rose 12% in the last year to more than 11,500. Soaring house prices have led many to factor potentially very chunky inheritances into their savings plans, fuelling fights over who gets what when someone dies. Our client in the Times: bit.ly/41UpWCr
£2m is the new £1m. Crazy inflation and a rampant stock market (up until recently at least) means that there are now 270 investors whose #ISAs are worth £2m and 5,000 with £1m. Good to see our client in The Times, FT Adviser and The Armchair Trader tinyurl.com/5f4zf2pt
Further coverage in The Banker of our client's press release on companies reporting their own employees to the #FCA. Investigations of #misconduct and timely reporting seen as essential for protecting workplace culture and reputations: lnkd.in/eYfNjTv4
Reports from employers about employee #misconduct to the #FCA rose 10% in 2024 to 4,224 - more than double the 2020 figure.
High-profile cases involving Crispin Odey and Jes Staley underline the increased risk to employers.

#Pub and bar company closures doubled over five years rising to 789. Good to see our client in the Daily Mail on why this is likely to worsen with increased staffing and energy costs. Ukraine War led to spike in pub closures should we expect the same? tinyurl.com/5f8mfyc3
A 27% jump in anti-#drone patents reflects growing global demand for counter drone systems.
The #Gulf conflict highlights the need for solutions “that aren’t dependent on million-dollar interceptor missiles”, says our client in The Times. tinyurl.com/2sr3uskr
The effect US #tariffs have had on British goods exports is shown in our client's analysis of the latest trade figures. Our client says given the uncertainty in UK/US trade, we should be developing our trading relationships with the EU and other nations.
