Restructuring a workforce is complex, and in 2026, the legal landscape is evolving rapidly in both Australia and New Zealand, as in-house legal and HR teams across the APAC region are increasingly called on to guide workforce restructures that span both jurisdictions.  

  

Understanding the similarities, and the critical differences, between the jurisdictions is essential to avoid costly missteps and implement effective and compliant strategies. In this webinar, join Jessica Tinsley, Special Counsel at Kingston Reid (Australia) and Anthony Kamphorst, Associate at Kiely Thompson Caisley (New Zealand) for a practical and comparative discussion on: 

  

  • Consultation: Procedural requirements in each jurisdiction and the growing need to integrate HR, ER, IR, and workplace safety considerations 
  • Redeployment and Flexibility: Expanding expectations around alternative roles, including remote and flexible arrangements 
  • Decision-Making Risks: Insights from recent landmark cases highlighting penalties for improper processes or mixed motives 
  • AI Developments: Current developments and potential implications for workforce planning and redundancies 

  

This session provides actionable guidance for in-house counsel and HR professionals seeking to implement region-wide restructuring strategies that are legally compliant, operationally practical, and aligned with both Australian and New Zealand frameworks.
