June 2025
Region: Europe
READ FULL INSIGHT
This insight highlights the key changes introduced by the recent Employment Rights Bill (Bill) that insolvency practitioners must take into account when considering a proposed restructuring. We outline how the new legislation enhances employee protections and the impact – particularly around redundancy procedures, consultation obligations and the preservation of employment rights – and we explain how these might impact a proposed restructuring. By drawing attention to these developments, this should allow practitioners to assess how the proposed changes may affect them and to integrate those into the planning stage of a proposed insolvency when appropriate. However, as the Bill is evolving, and may further change, practitioners should aim to keep an eye on developments to ensure that they are aware of the changes when it becomes law.
