Work is where most people spend their days, so a dispute with an employer or an employee is rarely only a legal question. Our labor law team advises both sides with the same aim: a clear reading of the contract and the law, and a calm plan for what to do next.

We act for companies that need sound employment terms, policies and exit procedures, and for employees who have been dismissed, underpaid or treated unfairly. We prefer early, documented resolution, and we take matters to the labor authority or the courts when that is the right route.

Rules differ by jurisdiction and by contract type, so we begin by confirming which regime applies. Many problems are solved by a well drafted letter before any filing is made.

For employers, prevention is the best value. We prepare employment contracts, handbooks, probation terms and disciplinary procedures that match the rules in force, and we help managers record performance so that a later decision can be explained and defended.

For employees, we start by collecting the contract, payslips, messages and any warnings, then work out what may be owed: unpaid wages, notice, leave, end of service benefits or compensation. We explain the time limits that apply, because some claims must be filed within a fixed period.

Settlements are common in this field, and a good settlement agreement matters as much as the claim itself. We negotiate payment terms, references, confidentiality and release wording, and we check that what is signed matches what was agreed.
