Organisational restructuring

Restructure with Confidence: Expert Guidance from Jamieson Law

Organisational restructuring can be a pivotal moment for any company, aimed at increasing efficiency, improving competitiveness, or responding to major shifts such as market conditions or new strategic directions. Jamieson Law is here to ensure that your restructuring process is conducted smoothly, legally, and with minimal disruption to your operations. 

Organisational restructuring involves significant changes to a company’s structure or operations, such as mergers, demergers, consolidations, or downsizing. These changes can have substantial legal and human impacts, requiring careful planning and execution. 

This is where Jamieson Law can help:

  • Strategic planning: We’ll help you define the scope and objectives of your restructuring to align with your business goals. This includes assessing the potential legal implications and planning the best course of action. 
  • Legal compliance: Restructuring can involve complex legal considerations, including employment law, corporate finance, and compliance issues. Our team ensures that your restructuring efforts are fully compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, protecting you from potential legal challenges and giving you peace of mind. 
  • Employee management: A significant part of restructuring involves managing the human aspect—whether it involves changing roles, redundancy processes, or shifts in management. Jamieson Law offers expert advice on handling these changes sensitively and legally, ensuring clear communication and fair treatment for all employees. 


We understand the stresses involved in restructuring, especially for employees and management. Our approach is not only legally rigorous but also empathetic, ensuring that all parties are supported through the transition. 

Throughout a restructuring process, we keep you informed and involved. Our clear, straightforward communication ensures that you are always aware of your options and the implications of each decision.   

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.
