We will guide you through the redundancy process step-by-step, helping you to achieve your desired outcome with minimal risk and disruption.
Where required, we can support you with making redundancy announcements, undertaking collective consultation obligations and drafting selection criteria, ensuring that you retain your business’ best employees.
You will also have 24/7 remote access to our online document bank, which includes template letters and policies to use at each stage of the redundancy process.
Redundancies & restructures
We are highly experienced in providing redundancy and restructuring advice for a wide range of businesses, from SMEs through to global PLCs.
Our employment solicitors regularly advise our clients on the initiation of protected conversations along with the drafting and offering of bulk settlement agreements to ensure that affected employees cannot bring forward a tribunal claim.
We also have considerable experience in helping employers deal with large scale reorganisations, collective consultations and mass redundancies, implementing strategies to minimise risk, cost and disruption.

Testimonial
“The availability of advice is excellent both over the phone/email and from their document bank. They also host regular face-to-face and emailed employment law updates which are extremely helpful”
“The team listens to their clients to understand how they operate and understand their culture and ethos so they can tailor their support accordingly. It’s a real partnership, which I have great faith and confidence in.”
“We have worked with Flint Bishop for over four years now and are highly satisfied with the service they provide. Their updates throughout the pandemic as been first class. The support with all aspects of employment law throughout the pandemic has been priceless to our company.”
“Greenshields JCB has used the employment law services of Flint Bishop LLP since 2017. The move to Flint Bishop has been most refreshing. We are always provided with pragmatic, expert advice with a speedy turnaround and follow up with any required documents.”
Nicola Nicholls
HR Manager
“In terms of the service we take from Flint Bishop’s Employment team, I cannot think of anything to improve on. I have always been happy with the support received.”
David Hammond
Finance Manager
“We transferred our employment law service to Flint Bishop in 2019, and since the first day, the service, advice and guidance have been spot on.
I love that we have a dedicated employment law solicitor for the business who took the time to come to our head office to meet with me at the outset of our relationship and really understand the culture of our business. I now feel I have a very trusted advisor to support the employment law issues we face. The advice we receive is appropriate and tailored to every different circumstance and adds significant value to our HR service, thankfully this is in clear contrast to our previous provider which was at times very rigid and time-consuming.
Our appointed solicitor is fantastic and, if not available, the wider employment law team provide consistent and clear advice, so I’m confident we are in safe hands. Thank you for the great team effort.”
Claire Walker
HR Manager
“Flint Bishop possesses notable expertise in acting for colleges, multi-academy trusts and other education sector clients. The team is particularly strong on employment tribunal matters, routinely handling discrimination and unfair dismissal cases, among others. It also advises on a range of non-contentious matters, including those involving TUPE and collective redundancies.”
“Collins Earthworks Ltd has worked with Flint Bishop and has always had excellent service from them regarding all aspects of employment law. The team have always been helpful and friendly at all times. I always have a prompt reply to my enquiry whether it be by phone or email and when they are out of the office there is always another contact should the enquiry be urgent. I feel that we have built a good relationship and would highly recommend the Employment team to any company that requires employment law support for their business.”
Mary Wharmby
HR Manager
“We have been incredibly happy with all of the support and advice that we have received from Flint Bishop. We had some tricky workplace scenarios (some unforeseen) and being able to have a named solicitor to liaise with was very much appreciated. We also appreciate that you are not risk aversive and ask us about the outcome that we would like to achieve.”
Sharon Barnard
Registered Manager at Stroud Court Community Trust
“We have been working with Flint Bishop for over one year. During this time, the support offered and received has been of very high quality and all members of the team are very knowledgeable within the area of Educational HR. We have been allocated a lead advisor for the school and they have been our main point of contact. This has proven to be very useful, as we have had a high level of consistency and understanding of individual casework. Our lead HR advisor has been able to offer advice and guidance in line with statutory duties and the law, as well as ensuring that appropriate provision is in place for all staff. Flint Bishop has been very keen to work closely with us to ensure that the needs of the school are well met and the additional offer of training and update sessions are well received by those staff attending.”
Gary Coffey

“We have been working with Flint Bishop for a number of years across different departments and projects, and have always found them to be extremely helpful with whatever support we need.”
