Traditional due diligence focuses on financial, legal, operational and tax exposure. Yet businesses that rely on contingent workers can carry hidden workforce liabilities that sit outside those reviews.
Specialist analysis of contingent labour models within acquisition targets is now more essential than ever. Recent legislative developments, including the Employment Rights Bill 2025 and the introduction of Joint and Several Liability (JSL), provide enhanced protections for employees, workers, and contractors.
A structured pre-deal review using the De-Havilland Workforce Risk Index™ to identify areas of potential exposure quickly and clearly.
We identify workforce liabilities before they become the acquirer’s problem. Our work focuses on hidden exposure which may materially affect a transaction.
