Employment

Employment problems can be very stressful for those involved, whether you are an employee or employer. Our lawyers can advise you on all employment law matters and on the range of options (including mediation) available to you. 

Employment law is a constantly changing area of the law.  Our lawyers offer both employers and employees access to the invaluable resources of experience, integrity and depth of knowledge.

Find out how we can help you with:

• Staffing Issues for Employees

  • We have considerable experience advising employers in disciplinary cases.  Whether your situation involves an under performing employee or serious misconduct, we can help you.  Our lawyers' experience also helps when we act for individual employees facing investigation or disciplinary meetings for which we can negotiate positive outcomes.

• Wrongful Dismissal

  • If you have been dismissed from your employment and believe your dismissal was not justified or handled badly, we can work with you to help remedy the situation.  At Corcoran French our lawyers regularly advise both employers and employees in relation to such dismissal issues, including representation in negotiation, mediation, and before the Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court.

• Disadvantage Claims

  • If you believe you are being disadvantaged in your employment, you can lodge a personal grievance claim.  Our lawyers are experienced in both pursuing and defending such claims.  If you feel that your employment rights have been breached, you may need representation; we provide fast, efficient and cost effective advice.

• Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court Cases

  • If matters are not resolved by mediation or negotiation, our lawyers at Corcoran French are experienced in representing clients in the Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court.

• Mediation and Arbitration

  • Our team of lawyers routinely represent both employers and employees at mediation and arbitration hearings.  We have significant experience in these and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

• Employment Contract Preparation and Review

  • It is important that your employment agreement is accurately worded.  We regularly advise on the drafting of these agreements.  Our lawyers can help draft new agreements for employers, update existing agreements or review an employee’s proposed agreement.  We can help you with every aspect of your employment contract including holidays, sick leave, parental leave, health and safety and trial periods.
