Labour Mergers and Acquisitions
Because numerous legislative provisions and common or civil law requirements create obligations and potential liabilities for parties involved in mergers and acquisitions, it is important to consider the labour, employment and benefits aspects early on. Fasken Martineau's Labour, Employment and Human Rights Practice Group regularly advise purchasers, vendors and other interested parties on all relevant aspects of law.
Our lawyers regularly provides labour and employment advice in all forms of commercial transactions, including mergers and acquisitions and insolvency-related transactions. Our expertise includes strategic planning, negotiation, successor employer and large-scale reorganization issues, as well as drafting all forms of employment-related agreements relating to the commercial transaction. With collective knowledge and experience that encompasses every aspect of labour, employment and benefits, we are able to advise clients on a full-range of transaction issues such as:
- Labour relations, including common employer and successorship applications;
- Employment standards requirements;
- Common law and civil law and statutory notice requirements when changing terms or terminating employees;
- Strategic planning including combinations and redundancies;
- Appropriate structures to protect against liability;
- Pension and benefit obligations; and,
