The Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations, widely known as “TUPE”, imposes several obligations and legal implications on businesses during a business sale or acquisition process. Our Employment team is experienced in providing advice on the applicability of TUPE, including its impact on employment relationships, effects of a transfer of employment and employee consultation obligations.
We are regularly engaged by clients on acquisitions, insolvency situations and changes in service provider. As well as advising on TUPE, we are experienced in assisting with the due diligence process and providing advice on the protections to build into any acquisition documents with regards to employees.
