Watch now | Bitesize practical refresher on TUPE

When a business is in distress and subject to insolvency proceedings, it's crucial that all those involved understand the impact of employment laws. In particular, TUPE can have a major impact on the structuring, negotiation and commerciality of any rescue deal – but it's complex and often misunderstood, even by experienced practitioners.

We held a webinar where our experts  Sam Murray-Hinde, Partner, and Anjali Raval, Senior Associate, provided a practical session on how TUPE operates in an insolvency context. Using a case study, they considered the issues that IPs and other advisers need to be aware of and identified key commercial and legal considerations including:

• How different forms of insolvency affect whether and how TUPE applies.
• The employees and liabilities that will transfer to a buyer.
• How buyers, sellers and IPs can manage their risk exposure.
• The common problem areas and how these can be dealt with in practice.

The webinar was intended as a refresher for both experienced IPs and those new to the world of insolvency and restructuring
