TUPE

Our employment law solicitors have the expertise and experience to guide you through the process of transferring staff to a new business owner in accordance with the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations. 

When a business changes ownership, whether as a result of a purchase, merger, or takeover, existing employees are legally protected by TUPE.  

This means that existing employees being transferred have the right to retain the same terms and conditions enjoyed under their existing employment.  As such, the business receiving the employees cannot simply change the employment contracts of those staff. Our Employment Law Solicitors have been recognised in the Legal 500 and have a robust reputation for providing guidance on handling TUPE transfers for businesses in Coventry and Warwickshire.

Askews Legal is a diverse, multi-lingual law firm based in our Coventry city centre offices, we use best-in-class technology to provide clients with streamlined, modern, and highly effective employment law advice and representation. Our solicitors have years of experience in employment law which means that we have a robust reputation for excellence with the UK’s best Barristers and King’s Counsel, Accountants and Counsellors who can bring additional support to our employment law department if required.  Our clients also benefit from our ability to instruct the country’s most respected expert witnesses.
