Redundancy Issues We Advise On
We provide guidance on a wide range of redundancy-related matters, including:
- Individual and Collective Redundancies - including consultation duties, fair selection, and required notifications
- Selection Disputes - where employees believe they’ve been unfairly or unlawfully chosen for redundancy
- Lack of Genuine Redundancy - for example, where the role remains or recruitment continues elsewhere
- Failure to Consult - where legal requirements are overlooked, rushed, or not properly followed
- Discrimination in Redundancy - where selection is influenced by age, sex, disability, pregnancy, or other protected characteristics
- Redundancy During Family Leave - including issues involving maternity, paternity, or shared parental leave
If you’re unsure whether a redundancy has been handled fairly - or need support negotiating a fair exit package - we’re here to help.
