Gainsborough-based solicitors firm Burton & Dyson is inviting businesses to find out more about how the new Bribery Act will affect them once it comes into force at a forthcoming breakfast briefing.

The event takes place at the firm's offices at 22 Market Place, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, DN21 2BZ, on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011.

Opening with refreshments at 8am, the hour-long seminar gets under way at 8.30am with a presentation by Burton & Dyson partners Steven Hardy and Lisa Whitelam.

Although the Bribery Act, which was due to come into force in April 2011, has now been delayed while the Government reviews the potential impact of its tough new measures on companies wanting to compete for overseas business, the seminar provides an opportunity for employers to keep up to date with the latest developments, as well as reviewing their own anti-corruption procedures.

The briefing will also cover the Equality Act, which came into effect in October 2010, and provide an overview of the key features of the Companies Act 2006.

Partner Steven Hardy said: "Although the Bribery Act has now been delayed pending a review, this gives businesses a greater opportunity to ensure their own anti-corruption procedures are up to scratch.

"Employers who attend this breakfast briefing can learn how the changes will affect them, as well as receiving valuable updates on other important legislation under the Equality Act 2010 and Companies Act 2006."

Further information on attending the seminar is available by telephoning Marion Granger at Burton & Dyson on 01427 676211 or emailing marion.granger@burtondyson.com.
