TUPE is a particular strong point of Will’s practice, particularly service provision change transfers having been involved as the successful advocate at both the Tribunal and Appeal stages of one of the UK’s leading cases in that area.

Recent experience includes:

• Advising on the integration and harmonization of employment terms across two substantial central London financial services businesses;
• Advising a dairy food business on the closure of one factory and the successful relocation of the workforce to another facility more than 10 miles away;
• Advising a world leading polymer technology business on the successful implementation of a collective redundancy exercise, involving 100+ staff;
• Advising several SME businesses through collective redundancies and contract changes;
• Advising charities on either the application or avoidance of service provision change transfers where there are changes in activities proposed by the new providers;
• Guiding the HR team of a lift and escalator business as it implemented a vertical reorganization of its workforce, reporting lines and costs centres throughout the UK.
