Redundancies and Business Re-organisations

Redundancies and business re-organisations refer to the process of downsizing or restructuring a company, which can involve job losses and changes to the company's structure or operations. These processes require legal advice and guidance to ensure that the company is compliant with employment law and regulations and that the interests of both the company and its employees are protected.

Key things to keep in mind for redundancy and business re-organisation legal work:

  1. Ensure compliance with employment law and regulations, including consultation requirements and redundancy pay.
  2. Review any contracts or agreements that may be affected by the re-organisation, such as collective bargaining agreements.
  3. Advise on any potential claims or disputes that may arise as a result of the re-organisation.
  4. Work closely with the company to develop a clear and comprehensive communication plan for employees.
  5. Provide legal support and advice throughout the process, including negotiating exit terms and redundancy packages.

Common mistakes that people make in redundancy and business re-organisation legal work include:

  1. Failing to comply with employment law and regulations, which can result in legal disputes or penalties.
  2. Overlooking the potential impact of the re-organisation on contracts or agreements, which can result in legal disputes or breaches of contract.
  3. Failing to provide clear and comprehensive communication to employees, which can result in confusion, mistrust, and legal disputes.
  4. Neglecting to consider the potential impact of the re-organisation on the company's reputation and relationships with stakeholders.
  5. Failing to provide ongoing legal support and advice throughout the process, which can result in legal disputes or penalties.
