Helping you to efficiently manage large scale redundancies

It is important to us that those employees faced with either losing their job or having it significantly changed are dealt with in a manner that their employers expect.

We support employers going through the process of making large numbers of employees redundant in a way which offers empathy to those impacted, whilst streamlining the administration and complying with legal requirements.

Our service is always transparent, and our technology platform provides real-time access, allowing users to see both progress and cost on each case.

We are able to complete significant numbers of settlement agreements – typically 100+ per day if required.

If you or a client is dealing with a major restructure and needs expert legal advice, we can handle any redundancies in an efficient and cost effective way, contact John Robinson for more details.
