Human Resources Outsourcing Services
Organisations - particularly SMEs - may not have a dedicated Human Resources function. We are able to provide on-site or remote Human Resources services to employers of all sizes, across a wide variety of sectors.
These services can be on an ad hoc ('as and when required') basis, or a more structured and regular arrangement, subject to specific client requirements.
Transactional Support for Businesses
In circumstances where businesses are bought or sold, or services outsourced or insourced, we can advise in relation to the industrial relations implications, ensuring compliance can be achieved, whether that be the application of TUPE in the first place, or the subsequent compliance obligations that TUPE requires.
Additionally, we have significant experience of providing due diligence support to corporate teams involved in the acquisition of businesses, as well as the negotiation of the employment aspects of deal documentation. We can also assist and advise with regard to post-acquisition re-structuring and human resource change management.
