Our employment solicitors advise businesses on redundancy planning and restructuring to ensure fair procedures and compliance with UK employment law.
Workforce changes are sometimes unavoidable. Whether due to business restructuring, technological change, or financial pressures, redundancies can be necessary. Our redundancy and restructuring solicitors support employers plan and implement redundancy and restructuring programmes fairly, legally, and efficiently, reducing risk and protecting your business.
Redundancy is one of the most high-risk employment issues. Mistakes in planning or implementation can lead to:

Even outside TUPE situations, restructuring can trigger claims if employees feel they have been dismissed unfairly. Examples of potentially unfair dismissals include:
