Takeovers, Mergers & TUPE Transfers
Clear advice when faced with TUPE
When your employer sells or transfers the business, it can raise many complex questions about your job and future. What happens to your contract, pay, or working conditions if a new employer takes over? Understanding your position under the TUPE regulations is important in protecting your rights.
The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) ensure that your employee rights are protected when ownership of a business or service changes hands. This includes situations such as mergers, acquisitions and outsourcing arrangements. However, determining exactly when TUPE applies can be complicated. For example, the outsourcing of work previously undertaken in-house can be caught by TUPE.
At Hart Brown, our experienced TUPE lawyers specialise in advising clients during takeovers and mergers. We regularly assist employees across a wide range of sectors who are facing TUPE-related issues. This includes advising on improper attempts to change employment terms, redundancy situations and cases of automatic unfair dismissal.
As TUPE is a highly technical area of law, it’s important to seek advice at an early stage. Our dedicated team can help you understand your rights and obligations, ensuring you are fully protected throughout the process of a business transfer.
