Redundancy and Restructuring

The current economic climate provides many businesses with a number of challenges.  For some this may involve the necessary decision to make redundancies.

Our team provides pragmatic, business-focused advice and support to assist clients through redundancy and other change management proposals.  We can help with strategic thinking and provide guidance through the procedural maze, including how to deal with consultation requirements and issues of selection for redundancy, so as to avoid potentially costly claims.  We can also provide the necessary documentation required for a redundancy programme, including template letters to employees.

We also act for companies facing administration and are experienced in advising on TUPE, the effect of insolvency proceedings on employment contracts and the options available to a purchaser when purchasing some or all of a business out of administration, including the possibility of employing some of the workforce on new terms and conditions.

We assist individual employees with issues arising out of redundancy and restructuring programmes, including advising on exit packages and compromise agreements. This enables us to provide both employers and employees with expert insight into the relevant issues and solutions from both sides of the redundancy process.
