How a 12-person North West legal services business moved its whole team to a new organisation under TUPE — on time, fully compliant, and without a single person losing out.
A specialist legal services business in the North West with 12 staff, facing a full team transfer to a new organisation under TUPE regulations.
They'd never been through a TUPE transfer and had no idea where to start, or what getting it wrong might cost them. And TUPE doesn't leave much room for error. Get the consultation or the timing wrong and you're looking at automatic unfair dismissal claims across the whole team.
With 12 people's jobs riding on it, they wanted someone who'd done this before to take it on.
We took them through the whole thing, start to finish:
Explained what the law actually required, in plain English
Ran the formal consultation with all 12 employees
Drafted the new contracts for the organisation taking them on
Kept on top of every legal deadline TUPE throws at you
Kept the directors in the loop the whole way, with no nasty surprises
The whole thing completed on schedule, exactly as planned.
All 12 employees moved across with their existing terms intact.
No automatic unfair dismissal claims — the big risk that had been hanging over the whole thing.
The directors knew what was going on at every stage and never felt out of their depth.
"We'd never been through a TUPE transfer and the risk frightened us. DaisyHR explained it in language we actually understood, managed the whole consultation, and got all 12 of our people across without a single problem. We couldn't have done it without them."
This project combined TUPE expertise with employment law and contract support to deliver a seamless transfer.
