Employment Law
The employment relationship is highly regulated, with legislation creating all types of employee rights. With the advent of the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA), compliance with employer's obligations are being scrutinised by a third party. Also, decisions on employment matters are made daily in the various tribunals and courts that deal with employment disputes.
In this environment, employers and employees need experienced and up-to-the-minute employment law practitioners to guide them through their difficulties.
Our employment law team has extensive experience in dealing with all aspects of the employment relationship.
We help our clients avoid costly disputes by putting in place clear and comprehensive contracts and policies. We assist companies in effectively managing problematic workplace issues such as disciplinary processes, absenteeism and poor performance. We advise employers on compliance with their statutory obligations as well as identifying changes in the law which may impact on the management of staff.
Also we assist our clients in assessing the employment implications of a commercial transaction. When conducting due diligence we identify the areas which have a cost or liability implication and advise clients on the strategy which best protects their position.
We have successfully represented employers and employees in employment claims before Rights Commissioners, the Labour Court, the Employment Appeals Tribunal, the Equality Tribunal, the Circuit Court and the High Court.
