Our Resolve. Your Resolution.
Businesses are constantly changing and adapting their structures and systems to ensure that they remain able to operate in an increasingly competitive world.
Acknowledging the need to change is one thing, handling that change well and minimising the disruption caused to your business is another. We appreciate that any process involving change, especially one where redundancies are anticipated, can be unsettling and fraught with potential difficulties.
Our employment team provides the advice and assistance needed to ensure that your decision to reorganise and/or restructure your business proceeds as smoothly as possible. To this end we work closely alongside internal HR teams in larger businesses and the decision takers in smaller organisations to devise suitable legal strategies for change.
The team has particular experience in assisting businesses and organisations in handling compulsory redundancies and managing redundancy programmes in order to reduce exposure to potential tribunal claims.
