This session focuses on differing types of legal transactions (share transactions, business transfer arrangements, restructures and asset transfers) and analyses the impact and strategies for the management of employee consultation or co-determination rights. The session considers what types of employee representation likely to be required over multiple jurisdictions, the role of those employee representatives (works council, unions, other representatives or stakeholders) and the likely timeframes and manner of such information/consultation as is required to be provided or undertaken. The session also considers the impact of matters such as severance plans and impact of changes to corporate benefits, such as lapse or accelerated vesting of share options as a consequence of a corporate transaction.
