Our employment solicitors provide expert legal advice on TUPE transfers.
Contact our experts nowOur team of expert TUPE solicitors bring extensive experience and specialised knowledge in handling complex TUPE matters.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006, commonly known as TUPE, are designed to safeguard employees’ rights when a business or property is sold or a service provider is replaced. We recognise that understanding whether TUPE applies to a situation and what that means for your business can be a daunting prospect.
It’s crucial to seek legal advice — failing to comply with TUPE can lead to costly legal disputes, fines or damage to your company’s reputation.
With our guidance, you can confidently manage any TUPE-related challenges, ensuring a legally compliant and efficient transition. Our specialist employment lawyers are here to guide you through the process, mitigate risks and liabilities and make sure the transfer is as stress free as possible.
