• Representation before all employment tribunals, including the Workplace Relations Commission and Labour Court

Individual Employee Representation

We also assist individual employees involved in a variety of employment-related disputes, particularly those involving bullying and harassment claims. Bullying by your boss or harassment from co-workers are not only intolerable acts — they are illegal. Our solicitor will review the facts of your case and provide an informed assessment of the viability of pursuing a claim through aggressive negotiation or before the relevant Employment Appeals Tribunal, the Equality Tribunal and the Labour Court.

Furthermore, if you feel you were unfairly dismissed after reporting incidents of bullying, discrimination, harassment or fraudulent activity or other forms of whistleblowing, you may have an employment claim. We can help you determine the appropriate steps to remedy your situation.
