Redundancies, Restructuring and Change Management

Our team works closely with our clients to support change management programmes when streamlining or restructuring their workforce.

A strong leadership team is crucial to a business’s success. Succession planning is often a critical aspect of that success. We assist with the hiring of key staff, from drafting employment documentation to establishing performance-based remuneration structures.

We also guide our clients through difficult and sensitive exit strategies, helping to manage the departure of founders, senior executives or managers with as little disruption to the business as possible. This includes, where necessary, enforcing post-termination restrictions and protecting confidential business information.

Where redundancy and reorganisation exercises are required, they demand careful planning to ensure they run smoothly. We work with our clients to develop effective pooling and selection procedures, prepare for individual and collective consultation meetings and draft and advise on all relevant documents and communications. We also provide strategic advice on alternatives to redundancy, voluntary redundancy programmes and settlement negotiations and agreements.
