TUPE Solicitors in Kent & South East London
Aletta Shaw's employment solicitors advise employees affected by TUPE — when a business or service transfers to a new employer. TUPE generally protects your existing terms and continuity of employment. We explain your rights on consultation, changes to terms and any dismissals. Free initial call available.
Key fact: Under TUPE, employees automatically transfer to the new employer on their existing terms, and dismissals connected to the transfer are usually automatically unfair.

Frequently asked questions
What is TUPE?
TUPE (the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations) protects employees when the business or service they work in transfers to a new employer.
Can my new employer change my terms?
Changes connected to the transfer are generally void, with limited exceptions. Your existing terms usually carry over. We advise if changes are proposed.
What are my consultation rights?
Affected employees must be informed and, where measures are proposed, consulted through representatives before the transfer. Failure can lead to compensation.
