Our award-winning Employment & Benefits Team, advise domestic, international and multinational companies, financial institutions, public sector bodies and charities on all aspects of employment and industrial relations law.
The team has a strong reputation for helping employers resolve employment disputes affecting both the individual and collective body of employees. Our lawyers understand the impact employment issues can have in the workplace and constantly deliver strategic advice to boards, authorities, regulators, senior management and HR teams for a swift and cost-effective resolution of such matters.
Strategic advice often includes representing our clients during alternative dispute resolution scenarios, for example mediation or conciliation, but also robustly protecting their interests before the Workplace Relations Commission, the Labour Court and the civil courts including urgent High Court injunctions.
Commercial awareness and strategic vision always play a key role in our advice to clients, particularly given the extensive experience our employment lawyers have working in commercial transactions, whether carrying out due diligence or guiding constructive solutions to employment related roadblocks that arise for buyers and sellers.
Other cross-department collaboration includes implementing share incentive schemes with our Corporate Team, interpreting public sector employer obligations with our Public Sector Team and supporting our Energy, Property and Housing teams during transaction and advisory work. This approach ensures firm-wide service delivery is the cornerstone of the commitment we make to our clients.
Our team are regular contributors as speakers at events, seminars, CPD courses and to the media. Our considerable knowledge in the field of employment law not only comes to bare in the advices we provide to our clients but in addition we also provide bespoke training and knowledge updates to a large variety of stakeholders.
