Our services
Employment litigation
Our team of employment litigators has unmatched experience across the full spectrum of employment disputes, from discrimination, whistleblowing and unfair dismissal to employment status, equal pay and unlawful deductions from wages - whether before the Industrial Tribunals and Fair Employment Tribunal in Northern Ireland or the Workplace Relations Commission in Ireland.
We provide accessible, practical and strategic advice on both legal issues and commercial considerations. We can advise you on reputation management, “gateway” risk of similar claims, sector specific issues and problem prevention. Our pricing structure and approach to work are flexible depending on your needs.

Data subject access requests
Workplace data subject access requests (DSARs) can be difficult to handle for overstretched in-house legal or HR teams. They may involve a huge volume of email correspondence, often in the context of litigation or other employment disputes.
In addition, they may involve dealing with concepts which are difficult to apply in real world scenarios from exemptions such as privilege to managing third party data.
We offer organisations a variety of options which include defining or strategically re-aligning the scope of the request and providing practical assistance on the review and redaction of documents.
Using state of the art analytics software throughout the course of any document review, we ensure that the project is completed as efficiently as possible.
Irish workplace relations commission and labour court
We can help you navigate Ireland’s complex employment claims landscape, acting quickly to provide you with strategic and practical advice on defending claims. We’re particularly adept at helping clients manage claims in Ireland by acting as an extension to their legal and HR teams.
Our services include providing advice on both legal strategy and commercial considerations, including reputation management, gateway risk of similar claims, sector specific issues and issue-spotting to forestall future problems.
With significant experience across all types of employment law claims, we can support you in areas including protected disclosure/whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, employment equality, and working time and payment of wages claims.
We’ve been involved in many complex and high-value employment disputes, and have an excellent track record of success.

Our workplace mediation services focus on resolving workplace disputes efficiently and amicably. We’ll help you to address conflicts through structured mediation processes, which foster open communication and promote mutually beneficial solutions.
