Employment law

Asserting your rights as an employee, from challenging a dismissal to recovering what you are owed.

Our approach

The Labour Code protects employees through a set of substantive and procedural rules. A dismissal can be ruled unfair for insufficient grounds, but also simply because the employer failed to follow the required procedure.

We help employees analyse their situation, negotiate an exit and, where necessary, bring proceedings before the labour courts. The first step is always the same: work out precisely what is owed.

What we do

Frequently asked questions

Was my dismissal unfair?

It depends on the reason given but also on whether the procedure was followed: prior hearing, deadlines, notification. A genuine reason that was poorly documented can be enough for the dismissal to be ruled unfair. We review your file and documents before any commitment.

How long do I have to act?

Employment claims are subject to strict time limits that vary with the claim. It is wise to seek advice soon after the termination: a missed deadline cannot be recovered, however strong the case.

My employer is offering a settlement: should I sign?

Not before you have worked out what you are entitled to. A properly drafted settlement means waiving your right to sue. We assess the offer, negotiate it if it falls short and check exactly what you are signing.
