Company restructures and employee redundancies are an integral part of the commercial world whether the company is expanding or downsize.  This can be an extremely unsettling time for the company and its employees, particularly if job losses are proposed.  In light of this, careful planning and advice is required to ensure a smooth transition and to avoid job losses, where possible.

In the Employment Department, we have advised on the restructure of companies ranging from smaller owner/managed businesses to FTSE 100 group companies, and from redundancies involving one lay-off to those involving many hundreds of employees being made unemployed.  We accept that irrespective of the size of the company, or the reasons for the change, it can be a difficult time for those involved.  In order to assist our clients, we can offer as much or as little legal support as is required ranging from a full advice package providing all the necessary documentation required to ad-hoc telephone advice.
