An employment dispute arises when an employee and an employer disagree on the terms of employment or the actions of either party.
An employment dispute is often resolvable through negotiations between the parties. If an agreement is reached, the employment relationship can continue under new terms. In many cases, disputes are settled at the same time the employment relationship ends.
We represent both employers and employees and assist our clients in:
- Assessing their legal position in the situation
- Communicating effectively and strengthening their position during dispute resolution
- Negotiating and drafting agreements between the parties
- Pursuing legal action and presenting legally sound claims
- Developing processes to prevent future disputes.
A lawyer’s role in an employment dispute
The termination of an employment relationship often evokes strong emotions in employees. We assist both employers and employees in resolving disputes related to employment termination. Our support includes assessing the legal aspects of the matter at hand, negotiating exit agreements, and settling compensation payments. If a dispute cannot be resolved amicably, we provide guidance through every stage of court proceedings.
An experienced employment law attorney helps evaluate:
- Different resolution options,
- Their costs,
- Business impacts,
- Legal risks associated with each choice, and
- The timelines for various options.
We review the available courses of action with our clients and provide a recommendation on how to proceed.
In many cases, the best outcomes are achieved when employment termination is carefully planned before any action is taken. Long-term planning and early intervention in workplace issues also help prevent unnecessary disputes. We offer a comprehensive range of employment law services.
