TUPE and transactions

As the cash-strapped public and private sectors strive to find ways to do more with less, transfer of business – and the impact this has on employees – has become more widespread. Our expert TUPE and transactions team create the space for you to carry our these transactions safely within the law.

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations (TUPE) and the EU Acquired Rights Directive have vital implications for the pay and conditions of your staff when a transaction, or transfer of business, takes place.

Whether it's outsourcing, joint ventures or mergers and acquisitions, it is likely that the terms of employment of the workforce will need to be protected.

We believe in being prepared for change. So we advise a wide range of public and private sector clients, from multinationals including global insurers and investment banks to the NHS, on how to create a robust employee transfer policy, before the event.

Unrivalled experience

Our range of experience is unsurpassed. We have advised on cross-border and multi-jurisdictional issues. We have assisted on the Retention of Employment Model and other secondment alternatives to TUPE, along with the Two-Tier Workforce Code and all other regulations relating to employee transfers.

We cover the full range of transactional employment issues for our clients, from the implications of TUPE, to due diligence, contract negotiation, outsourcing and shared services, off- and on-shoring, changes in terms of employment and post-transfer harmonisation.

We appreciate that employment disputes are a fact of life in such a complex transactional world. So you'll find our dispute resolution service second to none too. Once we establish your case, we'll defend you every step of the way and work to keep your organisation's reputation in tact.
