Good employment working relationships are a vital component of successful business. Our Employment Law Group assists and advises organisations in every sector on employment relations.
Our approach starts with the design and implementation of practical, best practice policies - the foundation of all HR practice and procedures. We advise clients on the legal issues arising from the recruitment and application process, drafting and developing employment contracts and compiling employment handbooks. We also review employment policies to take account of legislative and case-flow changes which impact on the workplace.
We advise human resource departments and management teams on both general and specific employment management matters, such as employer liability, all forms of employee claims including personal injury in addition to issues such as stress, harassment and equality.
We provide ongoing updates on new laws and regulations and their effect on existing policies and practices.
Our service also includes audits of employee data to ensure that employers are complying with their obligations under the Data Protection Act.
Members of the Group advise clients on all aspects of the dispute resolution process and prepare submissions and attend before Courts, the Employment Appeals Tribunal, Rights Commissioners, the Labour Court, Labour Relations Commission and Equality Officers.
An important aspect of our practice is advising on the HR aspects of inward investment projects. We are also skilled in the area of industrial relations.
As we have specialists in both our Dublin and Belfast offices, we are able to provide clients with an all-island service.
