I think my business might have overlooked some compliance requirements, what do I do?
Realising that your business might not be fully compliant is the crucial first step toward rectification.

We can conduct a thorough audit of your current practices to identify any areas of non-compliance and guide you through the necessary changes. Our proactive approach ensures you not only address current issues but also strengthen your processes for the future.

Additionally, our team is ready to develop training programs and performance review systems tailored to your needs, helping you pre-empt challenges and maintain a cohesive, productive environment.
What legal considerations are important during a company restructuring?
Organisational restructuring involves sensitive changes that must be managed with great care and legal foresight. Important considerations include ensuring compliance with employment laws, consulting with employees about their rights, and handling redundancies or role changes fairly. Additionally, it’s crucial to review and update contracts, maintain clear communication, and respect all stakeholders throughout the process. We provide expert guidance to help you navigate these legal complexities, ensuring a smooth and compliant restructuring that minimises risk and respects everyone involved.
How do I handle disagreements during EBA negotiations?
Disagreements during Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) negotiations can be challenging, but they don’t have to derail the process. To handle these effectively, it is essential to maintain open communication, actively listen to all parties, and seek to understand the underlying interests behind each position. Fostering a collaborative atmosphere and focusing on mutual benefits can help bridge gaps. We support you in navigating these discussions by providing expert facilitation, ensuring the negotiations move forward constructively and result in agreements that are fair and beneficial for everyone involved.
What are the key compliance areas not-for-profits need to be particularly aware of?
