Attorneys in Rosebank, Johannesburg
South African labour law is technical, deadline-driven and unforgiving of mistakes, for employers and employees alike. Get practical advice grounded in the LRA, the BCEA and current case law.
We act on both sides of the employment relationship, with litigation experience in the Labour Court and years of CCMA dispute work. Whether you’ve been treated unfairly or need to act decisively without creating legal risk, timing is everything: most disputes carry strict time limits.
Dismissed without a fair reason or process? We refer your dispute to the CCMA in time and represent you through conciliation and arbitration.
Preparation, advice and representation for employees; correct charging, chairing and prosecution for employers.
Fair section 189 consultation processes for employers; challenges to flawed processes and unfair selection for employees.
Employment contracts, workplace policies and enforceable restraints of trade that comply with the LRA and BCEA.
Referrals, defences and representation at the CCMA, and litigation in the Labour Court when the stakes demand it.
Demotions, suspensions, unpaid salaries or commissions, and workplace grievances handled strategically.
An unfair dismissal dispute must generally be referred to the CCMA within 30 days of dismissal, and an unfair labour practice dispute within 90 days. If something has gone wrong at work, on either side of the relationship, get advice immediately, before rights are lost.
Direction, not legal advice. For advice on your specific situation, book a confidential consultation.
Refer a dispute to the CCMA within 30 days of your dismissal. If conciliation fails, the matter proceeds to arbitration, where reinstatement or compensation can be awarded.
Legal representation at arbitration is allowed in many cases, and even where a lawyer cannot appear, thorough preparation by an attorney dramatically improves your prospects.
No. Section 189 of the LRA requires a genuine, meaningful consultation process. A retrenchment without proper consultation is procedurally unfair and can be challenged.
Many labour matters are handled at fixed or capped fees, particularly CCMA referrals and disciplinary hearing preparation. We quote you upfront.
Let’s take on your legal challenge together. All enquiries are confidential, and early advice is almost always better than late advice.
