Outsourcing & Business Transfers

When handling business transfers, the situation can become complicated very quickly. Our employment lawyers are on hand to provide outsourcing legal advice and keep matters running smoothly.

Overview

Often, outsourcing and business transfer cases involve thousands of employees, many regulatory and compliance requirements, and a degree of HR consideration that can feel insurmountable.

With the correct business transfer lawyer, the vast challenge presented by a business transfer or similar acquisition process can be manageable. Our dedicated team has worked with international clients on vast cases to manage the legal workload generated by business-critical acquisitions – including time-sensitive TUPE consultations, managing communication with affected employees, or implementing workforce strategies at scale.

We have also worked with clients in a unionised and collective environment, on post-transfer harmonisation programmes across different jurisdictions.

When looking for expert outsourcing legal advice, look no further than our Partner Patrick Brodie: the head of our Employment, Engagement, and Equality practice, and a leading speaker on TUPE for bodies such as the Employment Lawyers Association and XpertHR.

If you require expert advice from an experienced business transfer lawyer, we are here to help.
