Our team is adept at managing and advising on complex and strategic matters at both a domestic and international level. We advise clients on industrial relations strategies and employee relations issues, trade union recognition and de-recognition, contingency plans for industrial action, injunctions to restrain industrial action, litigation involving trade unions (both in the employment tribunals and High Court including blacklisting), TUPE and collective redundancy consultation with recognised unions, and Works Councils.
Although union membership has declined in recent years, trade unions remain one of the most powerful forces in the world of work. We have a deep practical understanding of their internal politics and priorities.
