Our team regularly assists the Corporate and Commercial department, in its work supporting business owners and individuals with the sale and disposal of their business. An asset sale will frequently have a TUPE element.

TUPE acts as the legal protection for employees’ rights when their business is transferred – this can be either a business transfer (i.e. when all or part of a business is transferred to a new employer) or a service provider change (i.e. when a service transfers to a new supplier). When it is applicable, a TUPE process must be followed, and there can be considerable penalties for organisations that do not.

Our team can work with you to understand the specifics of your situation and support you through this process, as you navigate the various requirements of a TUPE transfer.
