Transfer of Undertakings

You may be currently planning the purchase or sale of a business as part of your business strategy.  This may present many exciting opportunities for your new business operations, whilst at the same time it may create certain implications for the employees concerned.

We can advise you throughout this process on the various legal requirements for informing and consulting staff, the rights of employees and your obligations as either the transferor or transferee of the business.

It is important that you take these steps into consideration when planning such activities, as certain events may result in additional costs for either party.  You should therefore take appropriate advice to ensure that you have all the relevant facts before making certain decisions.

You may also find it beneficial to take advice on rationalising the workforce and implementing redundancies as a result of the business transfer before making a decision that may prove costly.

To find out more about how you can ensure that you meet your obligations on the transfer of business from one owner to another please contact one of the team members shown below.
