Terminations and Redundancy
Our employment law solicitors have decades of experience helping employers navigate terminations and redundancy legally and confidently.
Practical legal support for employers navigating terminations and redundancy.
Employee exits are part of running a business – but when the legal risks are high and reputational impact matters, you need the right support behind every decision.
Terminations and redundancies are often necessary for businesses to evolve. Whether driven by restructuring, cost-cutting or performance issues, it’s vital that these processes are managed lawfully to mitigate risks and protect your organisation.
At Thomas Mansfield Solicitors, we provide employers with expert legal advice on handling employee terminations and redundancies fairly and confidently. Our team partners with businesses of all sizes – from SMEs to large corporations, both in the UK and internationally – delivering pragmatic, strategic legal solutions that support long-term objectives.
We work closely with in-house teams, HR professionals and business leaders to ensure that every decision is legally sound, commercially viable and aligned with your business goals.
Expert redundancy advice that supports business change
When restructuring leads to potential redundancies, there’s more at stake than simply issuing notices. From identifying pools for selection to applying objective criteria, we help employers navigate:
- Legal definitions of redundancy.
- Collective and individual consultation obligations.
- Suitable alternative employment offers.
- Enhanced redundancy payments and discretionary terms.
- Fair dismissal procedures and documentation.
We help ensure your redundancy process is procedurally sound and in line with the latest legislation, reducing the likelihood of tribunal claims and reputational harm.

Managing employee terminations the right way.
Poor performance, misconduct or loss of trust can all lead to dismissal. We provide fast, responsive advice to help employers manage exits fairly and decisively, including:
- Drafting and delivering termination letters.
- Risk assessing potential claims such as unfair dismissal or discrimination.
- Disciplinary and capability procedures.
- Protected conversations and without prejudice discussions.
- Exit packages and settlement agreements.
- Managing grievances raised during termination.
Our advice is always commercial and proportionate, helping you avoid missteps and proceed with confidence.
Avoiding legal pitfalls and reputational risk
Our experience shows that when terminations or redundancies are not handled correctly, the costs can be high – not just financially but in time, resource and brand reputation.
By instructing our employment law specialists early, you gain peace of mind that each step taken is legally defensible and aligned with your organisation’s values.
We also help businesses avoid future issues by strengthening internal capability. Through tailored training for HR teams and line managers, we equip your people with the knowledge and confidence to manage employee exits lawfully, fairly and consistently.
