How We Can Help
Our employment law team have fast experience in supporting and advising employers on redundancy and business reorganisation.
We recognise that businesses need to move with the times and remain profitable in an often challenging environment.
Whether it be, for example, external factors that are out of your control, changes in technologies, a move into a new sector or streamlining your business, we work with you to identify your objectives and commercial needs to provide employment advice on your restructuring and reorganisation needs.
Whilst we recognise that this can be a turbulent and stressful time for both employers and employees, we can help you every step of the way from scoping out your requirements, preparing the business case and assisting you in managing communications with employees to maintain relations.

HR Support with Redundancy and Business Reorganisation
Upon scoping out requirements, the outcome may involve redundancies and/or changes to terms and conditions of employment. We can advise on the collective consultation process (for large scale redundancies and/or changes to terms and conditions where 20 or more employees are affected), through to individual consultations.
Our employment law specialists can prepare meeting guidance notes, Q&A documents, documents dealing with the election of representatives (if relevant), correspondence to employees and provide you with advice in relation to any particular issues that may crop up during the process.
In terms of redundancy processes, we can advise on selection criteria and the application of that criteria as well as considering alternative employment options, voluntary redundancies and explore alternatives to redundancies (such as redeployment, job shares, temporary lay offs, short time working and condensed hours).
We can advise on the risks of any proposed course of action and provide guidance on limiting exposure to employment claims whilst still achieving your objectives.
