Services Employment Redundancy and restructuring
Redundancy and restructuring
Service overview
Certainty, for every scenario.
From mergers and acquisitions to company relocation and closure, there can be many reasons underpinning the need for employers to explore options for restructuring or redundancies – but against the backdrop of an evolving employment landscape, employers have to tread a more careful line than ever before.
Whichever route you choose, with non-compliance carrying hefty risks and penalties – including opening you up to reputational damage and employment tribunal claims – it’s vital to ensure that the process is handled sensitively and compliantly.
This is a particularly pertinent consideration in light of the Employment Rights Act 2025, which has doubled the protective award for failure to consult on collective redundancies from 90 to 180 days’ pay, and is set to introduce enhanced, day-one unfair dismissal protections from January 2027 – further increasing the stakes for employers thinking about embarking upon the redundancy process.
From ensuring compliance to smoothing the transition, we’ll provide tailored support that meets you where you are – and moves with you every step of the way.
