Acquisitions, restructuring and new arrangements
Change the setup. Keep the people who matter.
When ownership, company structures or supplier arrangements change, good technical teams can be left with difficult practical questions. We help you work through the options and coordinate the people side of the transition.
Experience of working through change
We have supported clients through acquisitions and changing business structures. These situations require an understanding of the product, the people and the commercial context, alongside careful coordination of the practical work.
We help identify an arrangement that fits the new situation and make the steps clear for everyone involved.
Situations we can help assess
- Bringing external teams into a clearer arrangement after an acquisition.
- Changing how contractors are engaged when an entity or local office changes.
- Moving from an existing provider, subject to current agreements.
- Combining several arrangements into a simpler operating setup.
- Rebalancing locations, roles or seniority levels as needs change.
- Planning a move into your own organisation under agreed terms.
Work through the dependencies before making changes
- Understand the starting point.
- Map the people, their roles, locations, agreements and the knowledge they hold.
- Define the intended setup.
- Agree what should change, what needs continuity and which decisions require legal, HR or finance input.
- Prepare the people.
- Clarify communication, individual expectations and the support needed through the change.
- Coordinate the transition.
- Align agreement changes, payments, onboarding responsibilities and timing with the relevant parties.
- Stay involved afterwards.
- Check how the arrangement works in practice and address issues as the team settles in.
Continuity takes preparation
We focus on reducing avoidable disruption and keeping important knowledge within your team. Timing and feasibility depend on existing contracts, local requirements and the people involved. Those dependencies form part of the plan from the start.
