Contract Negotiation
HR matters may not be top of the list in the procurement or M&A negotiations, and the people pain points and liabilities may not be obvious until it is too late.
ChangeWork HR knows the deal process. We anticipate and sort through the issues thus ensuring you keep momentum and maximise value.
Beyond our cost modelling caoabilities, ChangeWork HR are familiar with the transfer mechanisms, liabilities, consultation issues and showstoppers across many key jurisdictions. That means we can reduce your legal bills.
We may not know all the answers for every country but we know the questions - and can shorten timescales by working effectively with counsel. We can overcome cultural and language challenges to test the advice to ensure it aligns with your preferred risk tolerance.
We know our way around deal documents; and the standards required for warranties and disclosures; and typically support deal teams/ procurement functions with all the contract schedules.
