Business change is inevitable but can present significant legal and operational challenges. Whether you are planning a business transfer, re-organisation, or redundancy programme, early strategic legal advice is essential to manage risk and ensure compliance.
At TWM Solicitors, our Employment Law team provides practical, commercially focused advice to help you handle sensitive workforce issues with confidence.
TUPE transfers made simple
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) can be complex and carry significant legal obligations. We’re here to guide you through every step, including:
- Assessing whether TUPE applies to your situation
- Advising on employee liability information and due diligence
- Meeting consultation obligations and planning communication strategy
- Managing post-transfer integration and harmonisation.
Our goal is to protect your business while ensuring a smooth transition for employees.
Reorganisation and restructuring
Business reorganisation may be driven by operational efficiency, strategic realignment, or financial pressures. We provide clear advice on:
- Reviewing employment contracts and job roles
- Managing changes to terms and conditions
- Handling relocations, role changes, and redeployments
- Advising on collective consultation requirements
- Minimising legal risk and employee relations issues.
Our advice is tailored to your commercial objectives and delivered with sensitivity to the impact on your workforce.
Redundancy advice you can trust
Redundancy is a legally defined process and must be handled carefully to avoid claims for unfair dismissal, discrimination, or protective awards. We guide employers through:
- Identifying genuine redundancy situations
- Designing fair and objective selection criteria
- Conducting individual and collective consultation
- Reviewing notice periods, redundancy payments, and appeals
- Advising on alternatives to redundancy (e.g. reduced hours, redeployment).
Where appropriate, we also assist with Settlement Agreements to achieve a clean and final exit for affected employees.
