Redundancy can be a challenging and uncertain process for both employees and businesses. For an employee, it may raise concerns about their position, financial entitlement, notice period and future employment prospects. For an employer, restructuring a workforce requires careful planning, clear communication and compliance with the appropriate legal procedures. A fair and properly managed process can help reduce uncertainty, protect the interests of those involved and minimise the risk of disputes arising.

I advise employees who are facing redundancy on the process being followed, consultation, selection procedures, redundancy payments, notice entitlement, alternative employment and potential settlement options. For employers and businesses, I provide support with the practical and legal aspects of restructuring and redundancy exercises, including consultation processes, communications, documentation and the consideration of alternative roles. Where a redundancy situation becomes disputed, I can assist clients in assessing their options and identifying the most appropriate and proportionate way to move the matter forward.
