Business transfers

Business transfers, mergers, restructurings or an employer's bankruptcy or suspension of payments are all processes with enormous influence on the relationship between employer and employee and consequently give rise to a series of employment and labour law problems.

Considerable experience and high professional skills are required to advise on such processes and ensure that employee issues are handled in accordance with legislation, collective agreements, etc., and in a way that is appropriate for those involved.

We have been involved in such processes on countless occasions – both as part of a joint Kromann Reumert team and on its own – and has thereby formed the necessary basis for providing purposeful and value-adding advice thereon.

In connection with business transfers (on the buyer's or the seller's side) and mergers we assist in:

harmonising the terms and conditions of employee groups on both sides
altering collective terms, etc.
employment law issues in connection with restructurings
the legal position of employees in connection with an employer's bankruptcy, suspension of payments, etc.
