EMPLOYMENT LAW

1. Contracts of Employment
– Employment contracts are legally binding agreements outlining the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of both the employer and the employee. We draft, review, and revise employment contracts to ensure they comply with labor laws, are tailored to the specific job role, and protect both parties’ interests. Our services include customizing terms for job descriptions, working hours, remuneration, confidentiality, termination conditions, and restrictive covenants (e.g., non-compete clauses).

2. Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
– SLAs define the standards of service an employer expects from its employees or that organizations agree upon with service providers. We create clear and enforceable SLAs that outline the quality, availability, and responsibilities for various services within an organization. This ensures accountability and sets measurable standards that help in evaluating performance, managing expectations, and protecting the interests of both parties in the event of service disruptions or failures.

3. Drafting of Policies
– Workplace policies provide structure, consistency, and clarity on key issues such as attendance, code of conduct, anti-discrimination, data protection, and health and safety. We develop policies that reflect current legal standards and organizational values, ensuring they are clear, practical, and compliant with employment laws. Well-drafted policies minimize disputes, help avoid legal liabilities, and create a productive, harmonious workplace.

4. Settlement Agreements
– Settlement agreements are legally binding documents used to resolve employment disputes amicably, often involving termination. They outline the terms agreed upon between the employer and employee, such as severance pay, confidentiality terms, and release from further claims. Our role is to negotiate, draft, and review settlement agreements to ensure they meet legal standards and protect our client’s interests, providing a clear, final resolution to disputes.

5. Civil and Criminal Litigation
– Our litigation services cover both civil and criminal matters that may arise in the workplace. For civil litigation, we represent clients in employment disputes such as wrongful termination, discrimination, wage disputes, or contract breaches. In criminal cases, we represent clients facing criminal allegations related to workplace issues, such as fraud or harassment. Our team prepares cases thoroughly, provides strategic advice, and represents clients in court to achieve the most favorable outcomes.

6. All Matters Incidental to the Practice of Employment Law
– This includes providing legal support for any additional issues that might arise in employment relationships. Examples include advising on restructuring, managing employee grievances, handling disciplinary procedures, compliance with labor regulations, and assisting with internal investigations. Our goal is to provide comprehensive support to help clients navigate the complexities of employment law, ensuring smooth operations and minimizing legal risk.

These services offer well-rounded support for employers and employees, addressing the full spectrum of employment-related needs, from drafting foundational agreements to resolving disputes and upholding compliance.
