In this session, Sam Cox, Commercial Director at Qdos, will explore the evolving IR35 landscape and what it means for recruiters, contractors, and umbrella companies operating in today’s contingent labour market. Drawing on nearly 20 years of sector experience, Sam will break down common compliance pitfalls, clarify where liability sits under the off-payroll rules, and outline practical steps businesses can take to mitigate financial and reputational risk.

Attendees will gain clear, actionable insights into managing IR35 determinations, strengthening due diligence processes, and building a robust risk management framework that supports sustainable growth in a highly scrutinised regulatory environment.
