Sale or Purchase of a Business
If you are selling or purchasing a business, it is important that you understand your rights and obligations in an employment and workplace relations context, including issues relating to the treatment of any employees affected by the sale or purchase of the business.
Our experienced team can help you by explaining your rights and obligations, advising on the employment issues connected with the transaction, including any liabilities, and reviewing business sale agreements.
The MV difference
During the changeover of business owners, employees within the business have rights and entitlements that need to be honoured.
Our experienced change management lawyers can advise you on who is responsible for employee entitlements and rights, what the impact of the transfer of business provisions will be in accordance with the Fair Work Act 2009 and what liabilities your business may be taking on in an employment context (including the terms and conditions of employment that may apply after completion of the transaction).
Whether you’re buying, selling or merging a business, our experienced employment and industrial relations lawyers have the skills and knowledge to advise you on all aspects of your business transaction from an employment context.
This includes reviewing employment arrangements and industrial relations framework, business sale agreements and the management of employees employed by the seller. This advice will help clarify what your responsibilities, obligations and liabilities are so that you can make an informed decision.
