Employment law and industrial relations

1

Our employment specialists are highly experienced across the full range of employment relations and labour law.


We understand how important it is for clients to get timely, cost-effective and pragmatic advice in this often complicated area of the law. With a partner-led approach, we work closely with our clients needing HR support, advice and documentation. We often identify steps you can take to avoid problems in the first place.
 
Jackson Russell offers expertise in complex litigation and this extends to employment related claims. We appear in employment litigation before the Employment Relations Authority and equivalent tribunals, and in the Employment and High Court. We have a highly successful track record in resolving personal grievances and claims arising out of an employment relationship through mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes.
 
We work closely with our property, business law, insolvency and dispute resolution teams as required to ensure that we add value to your planning and business decision-making. We can make sure your legal requirements are met by giving you strategic and practical advice from leading practitioners who are specialists in their fields. 
 
Our clients include individuals, privately-held and family-owned businesses, through to medium and large corporates.
