Corporate Restructuring Solicitors

Business Restructuring Lawyers

Organisational restructuring is a critical point in a business’s lifecycle. Whether you’re responding to market conditions, preparing for growth, or streamlining operations, having the right legal guidance is essential. At Jamieson Law, our corporate restructuring solicitors provide practical, legally sound advice to help you restructure with confidence, while reducing risk and protecting your people.

What Is Business Restructuring and When Is It Needed?

Restructuring involves major changes to your company’s operations, ownership, or internal structure. This could include mergers, demergers, consolidations, changes in leadership, or workforce reductions. Each of these changes can have far-reaching legal, financial, and employment implications.

We support clients across sectors with restructuring plans that are both strategic and fully compliant. If you’re also dealing with a merger or acquisition, or reviewing your internal governance documents, our solicitors can help align every legal aspect of the transition.

How Jamieson Law Can Help

Strategic Planning and Risk Assessment

We help you define the purpose, scope, and timing of your restructuring plan, and map out the legal considerations involved. From company law to employment risks, we’ll highlight the best route forward and flag any potential challenges early.

Legal Compliance and Execution

Business restructuring often involves areas such as employment law, contract variations, TUPE transfers, and redundancy obligations. We ensure that your changes are fully compliant with all relevant legislation and that your legal documentation reflects the new structure.

Managing the Human Element

Restructuring inevitably affects people. We provide guidance on employee consultation, redundancy, internal role changes, and fair procedures. Our approach balances legal accuracy with empathy, helping you protect your business while treating employees with respect.

From our clients
"We have worked with Jamison Law now for over 4 years on various projects relating to our business legal requirements. Over the years we have dealt with many other legal practices and when compared to our experience with Jamieson law they all have fallen short. Fast response, sound advice and understanding our requirements have been a breath of fresh air with Jaimeson Law. Barbara helped walk us through a complicated MBO a few years ago and the process was so smooth for such a complicated procedure. I would highly recommend their services for all your business contractual and strategic requirements. I cant recommend them highly enough."

HR & Employment

Our experienced team is here to provide expert guidance and support across a wide range of HR Law matters.

Employment law governs the relationship between employers and employees, ensuring fair treatment and compliance with regulations. As a business owner, it's essential to stay up-to-date with these laws, particularly as new legislation is being introduced under the new Labour government which will impact you. If you're unsure about your obligations, just reach out to us and we’ll talk you through what to expect.

Employee handbooks outline how things are done in the workplace. They typically cover important policies such as health and safety, holidays, sick leave, grievance and disciplinary procedures, equality, various types of leave, benefits, working hours, and more. They act as a one stop shop for your employees to find information and understand how your business operates.

Your employment contracts start right from the moment you issue an offer letter but it doesn’t stop there. Your employment contract should set out the key terms of employment for your new member of staff and should sign post them to your policies and handbook for more detailed insights. These contracts set the tone for your engagement and should reflect your business ethics and tone of voice.

If you don't have an internal HR team, outsourcing HR support is an excellent option for managing complex situations. Dismissals or redundancy processes are often emotionally charged and there is strict legislation governing what is and isn’t acceptable. Engaging with a legal partner like Jamieson Law alleviates much of the administrative burden, ensuring tasks are completed correctly and fairly.

TUPE or The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, protects employees' terms and conditions when a business or service provision is transferred to a new employer. This is often required in a business sale or merger and needs careful consideration and negotiation with the buyer.

An organisational restructure can impact everyone, departments or individuals in a business. Often the process aims to enhance company operations, add or remove resources to respond to changes in the market or economy, and sometimes to reduce costs ahead of a business event. This can be a challenging time where insightful legal support can create peace of mind that the process is fair and evenly handled.
