Employment Law Solicitors for Employees in Dublin, Ireland

If you have been dismissed, we can advise whether an unfair dismissal claim is likely to succeed, what compensation may be available, and what evidence you should gather. We also represent employees in WRC hearings and any subsequent Labour Court process, while exploring settlement options where appropriate.

Constructive dismissal arises where working conditions become so intolerable that you feel forced to resign. This is a high‑risk area - resigning too early (or without following procedures) can harm a claim. We provide constructive dismissal advice on grievance steps, documenting issues, and whether resignation is advisable.

Workplace bullying and harassment are serious issues that can affect your health, career and reputation. We advise on raising concerns safely, using your employer’s dignity at work policy, and preserving evidence. Where appropriate, we advise on escalation, including formal complaints and WRC remedies and personal injury actions.

Disciplinary and performance processes can directly impact your employment and future prospects. We advise on how to respond to allegations, what documentation to request, procedural fairness, and how to prepare for meetings. We also advise on disciplinary outcomes and appeal strategies.

If you believe you have been treated less favourably or impacted by discriminatory workplace practices, we can assess your options and timelines. We advise on equality claims, evidence, and the practical steps to take before starting WRC proceedings.

Redundancy can be lawful, but the process must be fair. We advise on consultation, selection criteria, suitable alternative roles, and statutory entitlements. We also review severance offers and negotiate improved terms where possible - particularly where reputational issues or dispute risk exist.

Before signing any settlement agreement, it’s critical to understand what rights you may be waiving and what the agreement actually provides (including confidentiality, references, restrictive covenants, and tax treatment). We explain the agreement in plain English and negotiate better terms where appropriate.

We review employment contracts, handbooks, and post‑termination restrictions (non‑compete, non‑solicitation, confidentiality). If you are changing roles or exiting on difficult terms, early advice can help you avoid accidental breaches and protect your future employment options.

Workplace disputes often turn on timing and documentation. We provide employee advice on how to raise grievances, how to keep communications professional, and how to protect your position if the relationship deteriorates.

If you are considering raising concerns about wrongdoing, we can advise on whether a disclosure may be protected, how to make it safely, and how to respond to retaliation or penalisation.

Employment disputes can involve sensitive personal data - emails, recordings, personnel files, investigations, medical data. We advise on practical steps to protect your rights and avoid missteps when handling workplace data.
