How we can help you

We are highly experienced in bringing the various TUPE 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 TUPE cases, including those based on:

What is TUPE

Understanding Employment Transfers

TUPE legislation is designed to safeguard employees when a business changes hands. In most cases, employees automatically transfer to the new employer on their existing terms and conditions of employment. This includes continuity of service, pay and contractual rights.

TUPE can apply to a wide range of situations. These include business sales, mergers, outsourcing arrangements and the bringing of services back in house. While the principle is straightforward, the practical application is often more complicated.

Determining whether TUPE applies is not always clear cut. Legal advice at an early stage can help avoid costly mistakes and disputes later on.

Advice for Employers

Managing TUPE Transfers Effectively

For employers, TUPE obligations can be significant. Both the outgoing and incoming employer have duties, particularly around employee information and consultation.

We advise businesses on all stages of the TUPE process. This includes identifying whether TUPE applies, preparing employee liability information and ensuring compliance with consultation requirements. We also assist with drafting appropriate contractual documentation and managing workforce communications.

Failure to follow TUPE correctly can lead to tribunal claims and financial liability. Our role is to help you manage the process smoothly and reduce legal risk while maintaining operational continuity.

Support for Employees

Protecting Your Rights During a Transfer

If your employer is involved in a TUPE transfer, your rights are protected by law. However, changes in workplace structure can still create uncertainty.

We advise employees on what a transfer means for their contract, working conditions and job security. If changes are proposed after a transfer, we can assess whether they are lawful under TUPE regulations.

Where issues arise, such as unfair dismissal or changes to terms and conditions, we provide clear advice on the options available and represent clients where necessary.

TUPE Consultation and Compliance

Ensuring a Smooth Transition

Consultation is a key part of the TUPE process. Employers are required to inform and, in some cases, consult with affected employees or their representatives.

We help ensure that consultation duties are properly carried out and fully documented. This reduces the risk of disputes and supports a more efficient transfer process.
