Redundancy and Workforce Reduction
Redundancy is a sensitive and legally complex process. We help employers manage it fairly and lawfully by advising on:
- Individual and collective redundancy procedures
- Fair selection criteria and consultation processes
- Alternative employment options
- Statutory and contractual redundancy payments
If you’re proposing to make 20 or more employees redundant within 90 days at one establishment, we’ll help you meet your collective consultation obligations and avoid costly protective awards.
Dismissals and Legal Risk Management
Dismissals must be handled with care to reduce the risk of claims in the employment tribunal. We advise on:
- Fair reasons for dismissal (e.g. conduct, capability, redundancy, SOSR)
- Constructive dismissal risks
- Automatic unfair dismissal protections (e.g. whistleblowing, health & safety)
- Avoiding discrimination in the dismissal process
- Tailored advice for senior exits and severance packages
