Reorganisation tool: ReQuiRe

Compulsory dismissals are often unavoidable. It is therefore essential that any reorganisation be conducted rapidly and responsibly with employment contracts being terminated as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. AKD is here to help!

The Employment Law practice group at AKD has supervised a large number of reorganisations and relies on a tool known as 'ReQuiRe' that was developed in-house. ReQuiRe stands for 'Responsible and Quick Reorganiser' and, as the name implies, it is the key to rapid and responsible reorganisation.
