Takeovers, Mergers and TUPE

When a business is sold or merges with another company, employers must be aware of the employment rights of the workforce. 

Where this change means employees are transferred to a new organisation, rules under the Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employees Regulations 2006 (TUPE) can protect their rights and create a number of obligations on the business. 

Companies may face difficult and costly claims when they fail to consult or follow the right procedures which result in dismissals or changes in terms and conditions. We can help you through this process to minimise these risks.
