Restructures and Redundancy

At McCaw Lewis, we provide expert employment advice on restructures and redundancy, supporting businesses and employees across Waikato and New Zealand through periods of change.  Our Workplace Law Team is experienced in guiding organisations through the legal and practical aspects of restructures when it comes to both business sales and internal changes.

Restructuring a business can involve changes to roles, reporting lines, or operational processes, and may sometimes result in redundancy.  We assist employers in planning and implementing restructures, including advice on consultation processes, completing risk assessments as required, and preparing documentation.  Our lawyers ensure your approach is pragmatic and tailored to your business needs, while meeting all legal requirements to minimise the risk of personal grievances or disputes.

For employees, we provide clear advice on your rights during restructures and redundancy.  This can include helping to understand consultation processes, employee entitlements, as well as options for challenging unfair decisions or poor processes.

McCaw Lewis is committed to delivering practical, strategic advice to protect our clients’ interests and supports positive workplace relationships.  We work collaboratively with our Commercial Team to offer comprehensive support for all employment and business needs during restructuring.
