Keeping it Legal: Time to Talk TUPE

Pitching for new business or re-pitching on a client review is bread and butter for advertising agencies. However, the gain or loss of an account raises questions about whether TUPE applies, who it affects, and the obligations of outgoing and incoming agencies.

Client demands and contractual obligations should also be considered. What if the parties disagree about TUPE and how will the unfair dismissal reforms affect TUPE transfers? Join Juliet Bawtree, IPA Director, Employment Law, and guest speaker Lucy Lewis, Partner and Chair at Lewis Silkin as they unpick these questions. 

Tune in for practical guidance on areas such as;

• Determining whether TUPE applies, to whom and when
• Information and consultation with ‘affected employees’
• Employee liability information and ‘measures’ letters
• Redeployment and ‘objections’ to transfer
• The client/agency contractual position
• Reform ahead?
