The employment and corporate interface

The approach

A business sale, an intra-group reorganisation or a director's departure fall simultaneously under corporate and employment law. Split between two advisers, such matters produce blind spots: the corporate timetable ignores the consultation period, the employment documentation ignores the scope set out in the sale agreement.

Here those matters are handled in a single file, by a single point of contact. This is not a method: it is the direct consequence of every pole being held by the same person. The benefit is a single timetable; the limit is a capacity that is not a team's, and it is stated before a matter is opened.

Matters handled

• Employment aspects of disposals and acquisitions
• Intra-group reorganisations and transfers of employment contracts
• Director departures combining corporate office and employment contract
• Harmonising collective terms after a combination
• Combined employment and corporate due diligence ahead of a transaction
• A single timetable for consultations and instruments
