Commercial - Employment Law

Employment issues often arise in connection with business services, mergers and acquisitions, and asset sales/purchases.

Clients often come to us aware that employees may ‘TUPE across’ but without a clear and detailed understanding of how that will impact on their business, either in the provision of services or in risk management.

We can protect your business from the negative impact of TUPE provisions on the sale or purchase of a business as a going concern.

Where property transactions are expressed to be ‘property only’ and not a TOGC (transfer of a going concern) for tax or TUPE purposes, we can drill down into the facts and give you realistic risk management advice.

Ensuring that you don’t inherit a whole lot of hidden liability when acquiring a business is part and parcel of our ‘due diligence’ service.

Documenting any agreed compromise agreements with employees is also a minefield, which is why the law around settlement agreements is strict and detailed.

Wherever it is in your best interests to do so, our commercial services team will liaise closely with employment and litigation specialists, giving you have a clear single point of communication combined with technical expertise.
