How we can help you
We are highly experienced in bringing the various redundancy cases we take on to a successful conclusion. We aim to provide comprehensive guidance at every step, offering the helping hand to lead you through the process to the outcome you desire.
Our team can offer help and advice on a wide range of redundancy cases, including:
Understanding Workplace Restructuring and Redundancies
Legal Framework and Key Considerations
Restructuring usually involves changes to an organisation’s structure, roles or working practices. This may result in redundancies where certain positions are no longer required.
However, redundancy is a legal concept, not simply a label. Employers must be able to demonstrate that there is a genuine business reason for the changes. This may include reduced workload, business closure or organisational redesign.
Even where redundancy is justified, a fair process must still be followed. This includes consultation, fair selection and consideration of alternative employment where available.
Advice for Employers
Managing Restructuring Lawfully and Effectively
For employers, restructuring requires careful planning and clear communication. We assist businesses in designing and implementing lawful redundancy programmes that minimise risk and disruption.
Our solicitors advise on consultation processes, selection criteria and documentation. We also help ensure that decisions are based on objective and fair grounds, reducing the risk of claims.
Where collective consultation rules apply, we provide detailed guidance to ensure full compliance with statutory obligations.
We also support employers in communicating changes to staff in a clear and sensitive manner. This helps maintain trust and reduce uncertainty during periods of change.
Support for Employees
Understanding Your Rights During Organisational Change
If your employer is restructuring, it is important to understand your rights. You may be entitled to consultation, redundancy pay and notice, depending on your circumstances.
We advise employees on whether the restructuring process has been carried out fairly. This includes reviewing selection methods, consultation procedures and any alternative roles that may have been offered.
If concerns arise, we can assist with raising grievances or challenging unfair dismissal. We also advise on settlement agreements and negotiated exits where appropriate.
Our focus is on ensuring you are fully informed and treated fairly throughout the process.
Resolving Restructuring and Redundancy Disputes
Practical and Strategic Solutions
Many disputes arising from restructuring can be resolved without formal proceedings. We focus on early negotiation and practical solutions wherever possible.
If a resolution cannot be reached, we provide strong representation in Employment Tribunal claims. Our approach is structured, strategic and tailored to each case.
