In the current economic climate even the strongest of businesses may need to consider redundancies or workforce restructuring.
With a raft of legislation and case law governing the redundancy process, the legal challenges for employers when downsizing or reorganising their workforce have never been greater.
How Hill Dickinson can help
Hill Dickinson has extensive practical experience of guiding employers through the planning, management and implementation stages of redundancy and restructuring exercises. We work with our clients to put in place an effective process which incorporates both legal and commercial issues.
Hill Dickinson's team of employment and pensions lawyers can provide expert redundancy advice and support on:
- The procedural and consultation requirements of a redundancy process
- Collective redundancies and compliance
- Managing employee relations and communications
- Changing employee terms and conditions
- Employee structuring and strategic HR planning
In addition to a raft of internal promotions, Hill
Dickinson LLP’s Liverpool office also acquired a team of four from
Halliwells led by Kerstie Skeaping, adding significant experience
in tribunal hearings, and in trade union matters and industrial
relations. Jeff Middleton now leads the team.
This
team has a strong reputation for advising NHS clients, and it
continues to grow on the corporate side, too. Recent highlights
include representing the Law Society in High Court proceedings
relating to TUPE. Other notable clients include Leeds Teaching
Hospitals NHS Trust, Iceland Foods and the North West Development
Agency.
