Business re-organisation and redundancy
Where company restructures, mergers, acquisitions and redundancies are to take place, careful planning and advice is required to ensure a smooth transition.
Reorganisation of business Where a business merger or a restructure is required we can guide you through the process and provide you with clear, commercial advice that takes into account the business objectives whilst also meeting the complex legal requirements. In certain circumstances we work with our commercial team to provide this service.
Redundancy
In a redundancy situation it is imperative that the employer adopts and follows a fair procedure. Failure to do so can lead to claims in the Employment Tribunal for unfair dismissal and, where appropriate, failure to comply with consultation obligations.
We guide our clients through all aspects of the redundancy process, including selecting the redundancy pool, identifying and applying redundancy criteria, reviewing alternative employment opportunities and fulfilling both individual and collective redundancy consultation obligations.
We can advise on both statutory and enhanced redundancy payments and handle challenges by employees against their selection for redundancy and related unfair dismissal claims. Where appropriate we can also draft compromise agreements to record terms of settlement.
For further information or assistance please contact Jo Cullen, the Employment Partner on 020 8549 5186 or employment@howell-jones.com.
