Redundancy

Redundancy is a complex area of employment law, where you need careful advice to avoid potential claims against your business.

Employees can only be made redundant in specific circumstances, including if the business:

makes fundamental changes to the nature of the business (i.e. what the business actually does)
makes changes to how they operate (for example, introducing new machinery)
moves location or closes.

In every case, the employer needs to demonstrate that the employee’s job will no longer exist in order for a redundancy to be genuine.

Redundancy cases often occur at the same time as major shifts in your business due to difficult financial circumstances, and can therefore be an emotional process, particularly if you have long term relationships with your employees. Our Employment team can offer practical and effective advice throughout the process. Our support can include reviewing your business situation, advising on whether redundancy proceedings are applicable, drafting consultation documents and finalising settlements.

What our clients say

"No improvement to service needed. Alison was the epitome of professional calm in going over options and maintaining patience, and indeed advised against a path that certainly would have achieved higher fees for her, but the correct call in retrospect. So I feel her advice was professional and unbiased. She was attentive in keeping me appraised of news, and maintained a polite and stress free approach which kept me calm and optimistic a final result in my favour would occur. Would recommend her, and the firm, to others." Anon
“Dealt with Alison primarily for Power of Attorney, very helpful and polite.” Anon
“I cannot think of any way that we could have had better service!!!” Anon
“I wanted to let you know what a fantastic job your colleague Serhat has done over the last couple of months supporting the eviction of a tenant from my property. ” Anon

"We used this wonderful firm for a recent home sale and purchase, their service was outstanding. Everything was carried out with the utmost care and attention and all the staff including a senior Partner were so friendly and helpful. Absolutely top notch." Anon
Over the past 8 years Teresa Braddon and her team have created my Will and have done numerous conveyancing transactions for myself and my family. I have found Teresa and her Team most helpful and efficient. Everything was carried out with care and attention. All the staff including Teresa, a senior Partner, were friendly and helpful. I would recommend Braddon and Snow and their services." Tony Stavrou
I would highly recommend Braddon & Snow to anybody, very professional and efficient service. They treat you like a person rather than just a number. I am mentally disabled and sometimes I do not get respect or understanding shown to me. Braddon & Snow couldn’t of been more kind and they always took the time to explain all the legal terminology to me so I understood. I would especially like to thank Emily Morten and Jane Blackett as they really went above and beyond what they had to. Value for money and excellent staff. Use this company. Mr M Brooke
Thank you all so very much for all your help and kindest attention over the years. In every conceivable way you go out of your way, above and beyond any expectations. You are incredible, and all your team are unbelievably pleasant. I hope these few lines go a little way to thank you so very much. Mr M Ledger
