FAQs
What is Employment Law and how can an Employment Law solicitor help me?
Employment Law regulates the relationship between employers and employees, covering a wide range of matters from contract disputes, unfair dismissals, to discrimination in the workplace. An employment law solicitor can provide expert advice, representation, and help you navigate through the complexities of these legal issues. They can negotiate on your behalf, represent you in tribunals and court proceedings, and ensure your rights are protected under Irish law.
When should I consider hiring an Employment Law solicitor?
You should consider hiring an Employment Law solicitor if you believe you’ve been treated unfairly at work, if you’re facing dismissal or redundancy, or if you’re dealing with issues related to your contract of employment. You may also need a solicitor if you’re an employer dealing with complex employee disputes, changes in employment legislation or need assistance drafting employment contracts, policies, and procedures. In all cases, it’s best to seek legal advice as early as possible to ensure the best possible outcome.
How does the process work once I decide to hire an Employment Law solicitor?
Once you’ve decided to hire an employment law solicitor, an initial consultation will be arranged to discuss your situation in detail. This will allow the solicitor to understand your case, provide preliminary advice, and outline the potential steps moving forward. If you decide to proceed, they will represent you in discussions with your employer or the other party, and, if necessary, in court or before an employment tribunal. They’ll guide you throughout the process, ensure that all paperwork is properly prepared, and keep you informed about the progress of your case.
