Re-Organisations and Connected Employment Matter

Holmes advise companies planning the purchase or sale of a business as part of their corporate strategy, which may have implications for employees under the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE).

We advise companies throughout the transaction on their obligations to inform and consult employees, the rights of employees and their obligations as either the transferor or transferee of the business. Our employment lawyers can help you with all types of industrial relations engagement, from general communications with your workforce on sensitive matters to negotiations with employee representative bodies on pay or other issues. Whether or not the TUPE Regulations are triggered as part of a transaction is highly fact specific and businesses are advised to take legal advice on the potential impact a transaction may have on its employees as early as possible.
