We have an outstanding record in Labour Law matters, in particular across the entire Public Sector in National, Provincial and Local Government spheres. Over the many years of existence, we have successfully dealt with labour disputes relating to misconduct dismissals, operational requirements and retrenchment dismissals and industrial and strike action disputes at High Court, Labour Court, Public Service Bargaining Council, other Bargaining Councils and CCMA level.

A significant part of the professional service rendered by the Firm relates to labour and employment law, representing employers. When misconduct dismissals of senior management staff are effected in any big enterprise, whether public or commercial, it is crucial that disciplinary proceedings are dealt with speedily and successfully both from a substantive and a procedural perspective. This is important because any subsequent finding against an employer in the Labour Court can have both substantial financial and staff morale implications.

In respect of misconduct and incapacity matters, we attend to all aspects ranging from the forensic investigation of alleged misconduct, drafting charge sheets, arranging and preparing witnesses, sourcing and appointing expert witnesses, sourcing and advising on appointment of appropriate chairpersons, attendance to keeping of comprehensive records, to finalisation of disciplinary hearings.
