I accept instructions to act for employers, employees and unions in negotiations, mediations, and Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court proceedings.

Employment relationship problems require independent and objective advice before proceeding. One sided advice, whether pro-employer or pro-employee, may tell you what you want to hear but is ultimately unhelpful. It is important to get a balanced and realistic assessment of your legal position from the start.

Seek advice immediately if you are aware of a possible personal grievance (unjustified disciplinary action or dismissal, and disadvantage claims such as discrimination or sexual harassment) or a dispute such as breach of contract and other wrongs.  Early advice can make a dramatic difference to the ultimate outcome.

I focus on achieving results for my clients now, while also ensuring they keep an eye on their medium to long term interests. Ongoing business performance, careers and employment relationships are important.

If you have a query or need advice please email   or phone me on (09) 363 2890 for free initial telephone advice. If the matter is urgent you can reach me on my cellphone (021 736 575) outside normal business hours.
