HR Restructuring

Our team has earned itself a solid reputation for handling the labour law aspects of company restructuring operations, including transfers of undertakings (TUPE), outsourcing, collective dismissals, business closures and restructurings under the Belgian Chapter 11-like proceedings.  We often coordinate European restructuring projects in several countries.

Our experts advise on:

• drawing up and negotiating social plans;
• drafting collective labour agreements;
• all formalities relating to collective dismissal proceedings (notifications to the authorities and communication to employees’ representatives);
• information and consultation with (Belgian and European) works councils, trade union delegations and health and safety at work committees
• managing social conflicts;
• early retirement arrangements.
