Our team regularly provides advice to clients in relation to the TUPE Regulations, both on stand-alone projects and by providing support to our colleagues in our Corporate and Commercial Team. We provide clients with straightforward advice to help them navigate through this complex area, ensuring that employees transfer as smoothly as possible (or ensuring that clear reasons are in place for why employees should not transfer).
As a result, the risk of potential litigation is minimised and employee relations remain as strong as possible during an uncertain time.
In particular, we advise clients on their obligations to inform and consult employees in relation to a TUPE transfer, together with steps that may be taken to negotiate changes to terms and conditions or reorganise staff following transfers.
We are also able to advise on TUPE issues in the context of insolvency.
We are also experienced in advising employee representatives and large groups of employees in relation to claims and remedies arising out of failure to comply with obligations under TUPE including those in relation to consultation.
