Can you review my employment contract before I sign it?

Yes. We review employment agreements and related documents, identify legal and contractual risks and advise on the rights and obligations arising from the proposed employment relationship.

Can an employee challenge termination or dismissal?

In appropriate circumstances, an employee may have statutory or other legal remedies available to challenge an unlawful termination, dismissal or disciplinary action. We assess the facts and applicable legal framework before advising on the appropriate course of action.

Can you assist an employer with disciplinary proceedings?

Yes. We advise employers on show-cause notices, domestic inquiries, disciplinary procedures and appropriate actions while ensuring that applicable legal and procedural requirements are properly considered.

Can you help recover unpaid salary or other employment benefits?

Yes. We advise and represent employees concerning claims for unpaid wages, benefits, compensation and other amounts that may be legally due.

What should an employer do when facing a labour dispute?

Early legal assessment can help identify potential liability and available options. We advise on the applicable legal framework, documentation, dispute-resolution strategies and, where necessary, representation before the appropriate forum.

Can employment disputes be resolved without litigation?

Yes. Negotiation, mediation, settlement and other appropriate mechanisms may provide an effective means of resolving workplace disputes without prolonged proceedings. We advise clients on the available options and their legal implications.

How are legal fees discussed?

Fees are discussed transparently after assessing the nature, complexity and scope of the matter. The proposed fee structure and professional engagement terms are communicated before commencement of the engagement.
