Change programmes in employment cover how employers plan and implement major workforce changes—such as reorganisation, role redesign, and redundancies—with legal duties around consultation, information, and the transfer of staff. A solicitor in this area helps from initial planning through to implementation, drafting and reviewing consultation documents, redundancy selection criteria, and employee communications; advising on potential claims, such as unfair dismissal or unlawful changes to terms and conditions; and navigating collective processes when unions or employee representatives are involved.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The solicitor focuses on deadlines that bite and irreversible steps: timely, lawful consultation under employment law, careful handling of information, and compliance with statutory and contractual obligations to avoid unfair dismissal challenges, redundancy payments, or potential TUPE-related liabilities. They ensure the plan respects rights and preserves evidence, reducing the risk of disputes if the change encounters opposition or a claim of detriment.
