Our experts will help you with a fair redundancy process to guard against legal claims

Redundancy with minimal disruption

Making staff redundant is never an easy decision, but with the right legal advice you can reach fair outcomes and minimise disruption to both your employees and your business. Our lawyers can also help you avoid future legal claims by making sure the process is correctly managed from the start.

Get the best legal advice from the outset

When considering a redundancy or reorganisation process, it’s important to get expert advice before you start. You must ensure the process is valid and justified. This may arise because your business is closing, merging, relocating, downsizing, or that the role or roles in question are no longer necessary. Depending on numbers, do you need a collective consultation? In any event, you must consult meaningfully with employees early on in the process to give them an opportunity to influence the outcome.

I have been told my property has development potential. What do I do?

If you’ve been contacted by a developer or a land promoter regarding a potential development to your property, you may wish to consider granting an option agreement or a promotion agreement. An option agreement is made between the landowner and the developer, where it is intended that the developer will apply for planning permission and requires an option to buy the property. A land promotion agreement is used where a developer agrees to apply for planning permission and will market the property for sale on the open market once planning permission has been obtained. This is usually in return for a proportion of the net sale proceeds. The law on this is very complex and you will need specialist advice.
