Business acquisition?
Planning to acquire a company or push through a merger? If so, this could also be a reason to reorganise. We're happy to help you navigate any acquisition or merger.
Reorganisation
A company reorganisation is a time of great upheaval and careful preparation and prudent execution are key. Whether you're restructuring your business setup or need to cut costs due to financial pressures, possibly resulting in redundancies, it’s important to approach the reorganisation thoughtfully. We’re here to guide you through the legal side of things and make sure your people are supported throughout the process.

Reorganisation
When planning a reorganisation, several key questions arise. Why is the reorganisation necessary? How many employees will be affected, and who are they? What are the implications for both the organisation and the individuals involved? And how should the process of letting employees go be handled?
Support Every Step of the Way
We provide full support throughout the entire process, from start to finish. Our guidance includes:
- Thorough preparation, including a discussion on how you wish to approach the reorganisation and whether you’d like to offer employees a settlement agreement.
- A clear, shared plan of action and timeline.
- Advice on the legal grounds for dismissal and helping determine which employees may be affected. This includes applying the last in, first out principle where required.
- Support in any consultation processes with the works council, if applicable.
- Coordinating with trade unions, where necessary.
- Assistance with redundancy applications through the Employee Insurance Agency.
- Participation in employee discussions, if you wish.

Training course: Reorganisation & Collective Redundancy
Suppose your company needs to be restructured, for example due to poor financial performance or reduced workload. Technological changes may also lead to letting staff go. In this training course, we focus on the dos and don’ts of a reorganisation and review the assessment criteria used by the Employee Insurance Agency (UWV).
