Redundancies, restructuring, TUPE & settlements

Redundancy is a special form of dismissal and happens when an employer needs to reduce its workforce. It is one of the most traumatic events an employee may experience.

Announcing redundancies can have an adverse impact on the morale, motivation and productivity of the whole workforce. However, the negative effects can be minimised with careful planning and the sensitive, fair handling of the process.

We offer bespoke support and advice on how to manage significant organisation change programmes involving redundancies. We can also support with mergers and acquisitions (TUPE), re-structuring and office relocations.

We’ll guide you in designing an approach to ensure you stay legally compliant, supports clear and empathetic communication and provide all necessary documentation. Depending on your needs, we can also support you remotely or on-site with consultation and dismissal meetings.

We can also help with negotiating and drafting a settlement agreement (a legally binding agreement between an employee and employer setting out the terms of the employee’s contract termination).
