Mergers and acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions can deliver significant growth for businesses looking to expand into new markets or acquire new capabilities or service lines.  They can also present a number of challenges and quite often the impact on your people can make or break the deal. 

We advise on all the employment implications of mergers and acquisitions such as how your people will be affected; relationships with unions; changes to terms and conditions of employment; secondments; pension liabilities; exiting colleagues; solutions to minimise the risks during redundancy processes and assessment of potential claims that could arise.

We work alongside a wider team to provide clients with holistic solutions taking into account all aspects of the deal.
