This is one of my firms most complex cases. At a former firm, Partners Employment Lawyers, we were instructed by a large group of employed solicitors in a ‘service provision change’ case.
The case made front page news probably because of its relevance to the profession and also for all employers who bid for service provision contracts. Many employers still get the ‘service provision’ rules wrong. It is important to understand them before tendering for commercial contracts given the costs of inheriting a payroll along with the business.
