Human Resources is almost always the single largest cost of doing business, yet is often the most ignored aspect of any merger, acquisition, or divestiture.
If the objective of the transaction is to produce a better organization, the most important human resource decisions are whether the cultures of the two organizations can be altered, and how the employees will react to the change. Typically, the acquiring organization does not spend enough time considering these issues.
We will assist management in determining how to best consolidate the two organizations, communicate the changeover, and determine who should be responsible for the various aspects of the transition. We can also bring efficiencies to the transaction, and help you avoid the consequences of premature announcements.
We will assist the acquiring organization and its legal counsel in uncovering potential hidden liabilities by conducting a comprehensive review of the organization’s benefits, policies and practices, labor contracts, and other human resource components.
Please see our services offered under Human Resource Management, Labor Relations, and Regulatory Compliance for more specifics.
