Outsourcing and TUPE

Businesses these days find themselves more and more involved in outsourcing, whether contracting out their services or as contractors taking on outsourced work.

We can provide commercially drafted documentation, to ensure that the outsourcing arrangement is properly formalised and that you are fully advised as to any employment law risks. As part of this process we will, of course, provide clear, commercial and technically sound advice and guidance on the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (commonly known as TUPE), which is a particularly complex area of law.

Likewise, TUPE will apply on the sale of part of a business in the same way it applies to the sale of the whole of a business.  In these situations we work closely with our Corporate team to ensure that you are fully appraised of the necessary steps needed for compliance and we will draft robust commercial documentation to ensure that any financial risks are minimised.
