We have a wealth of experience litigating some of the most definitive cases in this area. We have represented both businesses and employees in this highly sensitive practice area. We understand the realities of conducting business and the employment law risks faced by businesses. Our experience includes wrongful dismissal claims and defences, restrictive covenant claims and defences, employers’ liability and vicarious liability claims, and employee provident fund claims.
