Defence management of a collective reinstatement dispute
The serial reinstatement claims that arose after an organisational change were defended under a single strategy through a shared evidence folder, consistent witness testimony and mediation-litigation coordination.
In serial litigation, inconsistency is the costliest mistake
Conflicting defences across the different case files could weaken them all at once.
The business-decision character of the grounds for termination had to be conveyed in the same language through documents and testimony.
Our Approach
Keeping the commercial objective at the centre, we broke the legal risks down into measurable steps.
01 · Shared Evidence File
The decision, criteria, and implementation documents were gathered into a single set.
02 · Witness Preparation
The account was set within a plain framework consistent with the documents.
03 · Coordinated Representation
The mediation and litigation stages were managed on a single timeline.
Timeline
The main stages of the process.
A serial defence managed with consistency
The serial matters were managed with shared evidence and a single narrative, and the results were carried over to the employer's future restructuring processes as a documentation standard.

First we clarify the commercial objective, risk appetite, timeline, and the decision-makers' needs. We then break the work into legal analysis, document/contract structure, and implementation steps, and manage the process through a single point of contact.
Because of the legal profession's duty of confidentiality and client privacy, matters are anonymised. In a meeting, within the bounds of confidentiality, we can describe our comparable experience more concretely.
In a short preliminary meeting, we take in the objective, the available documents, the parties, the time pressure, and the critical risks. The scope, team, timeline, and fee model are then clarified.
