Workforce Restructuring Advice

In any business acquisition, sale or restructure, the people element is paramount and needs to be handled carefully and within the relevant legislation. But it also needs to work commercially for you.

At Vistra, we can help determine your risk regarding restructures. We'll work with you to help maintain the financial stability of the business, but if it's determined that the business must close, we'll help you do this in a manner that ensures those difficult decisions are made at the right time and in accordance with the applicable law.

We have teams of legal experts to advise you on the elements of any acquisition, sale, merger, reorganisation or restructure that involves people. This advice will help you with costs and synergies pre- and post-change.

We can also advise and support you as you consult with your workforce on any change. And, if need be, put your exit procedures into practice. And we will support you throughout the process, providing advice, answering queries as they arise about the process, employee rights, timescales and implementation.

Tribunal claims

Whilst we will do all we can to protect you from claims, it is possible that at some stage you will be faced with one. We know the challenges ahead of you when defending an employment tribunal, and we deliver cost effective and commercially-focused advice to provide support to you as a business.

ECJ ruling on access to beneficial ownership information: Balancing transparency and privacy

A recent ruling from the European Court of Justice enables beneficial owners of EU companies to limit the ability of corporations and individuals to retrieve information about them from government databases, granting owners greater privacy protections.

Employee terminations: Due diligence for multinational employers

After a period of robust growth, companies typically face an environment of economic slowdown and rising interest rates. In that situation, they naturally look to cut costs, often through staff reductions. While this is a common area to turn for savings, the process of reducing staff is often painful and comes with underlying risks. To minimize those risks, multinational employers must understand the consequences of employee layoffs and terminations, including the need to comply with applicable laws in all countries of operation.

The UK’s international data transfer agreement and SCC Addendum: What multinationals need to know
