TUPE and Restructuring
TUPE and Restructuring Advice for Employees in Cheltenham and Gloucestershire
If your employer is selling the business, merging with another company, or making organisational changes, your job and employment terms may be affected under TUPE. At Pembridge Solicitors, we help employees across Cheltenham and Gloucestershire understand their rights during transfers, restructures, and redundancy processes.
We provide clear, practical legal advice to ensure you’re treated fairly — whether you’re staying with the new employer or facing changes to your role, pay, or working conditions.
What Is TUPE?
TUPE stands for the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. These regulations protect employees when a business is transferred from one employer to another — including sales, mergers, service provision changes, and insourcing/outsourcing.
If TUPE applies to your situation, your:
- Job is transferred to the new employer
- Terms and conditions of employment are maintained
- Length of service is preserved
- Right to claim unfair dismissal is protected
Employers are legally required to inform and consult affected staff or their representatives.
How We Can Help
We advise employees during business transfers and reorganisations, including:
- Confirming whether TUPE applies to your situation
- Reviewing any proposed changes to your terms or duties
- Advising on redundancy risk or changes to job role
- Supporting you through consultation processes
- Challenging unlawful changes or unfair dismissal
- Advising on settlement agreements related to restructure or transfer
We also act for employees who believe they’ve been dismissed or forced out as a result of TUPE-related changes.
Redundancy During Restructuring
Sometimes restructuring results in job losses, either during or after the transfer. If you’re being made redundant, we can help you:
- Understand if the redundancy is lawful
- Check if you were properly consulted
- Review your redundancy pay and notice period
- Challenge unfair redundancy selection
- Consider your options for a claim or settlement
We’ll help protect your rights and ensure any exit terms are fair and legally sound.
