The firm has a large employment law group which responds to the ever-changing legal environment and gives your managers the practical help and support they need. We can help you to get the best from your staff so your organisation achieves its goals, by providing high quality, accessible, prompt and practical support.
Organisations in the education sector, like all other employers, are heavily dependent upon a committed and effective workforce. You need to balance the need to achieve efficient service delivery with the broad range of legal and other obligations to staff.
Our team has significant education sector expertise. We focus on the need to identify and deliver effective solutions which take into account legal obligations together with the evolving commercial and industrial relations realities of a situation.
Areas we cover include employee benefits; performance management; dismissals including retrenchments, redundancy and rationalisation; discrimination; litigation including representation at the CCMA, Bargaining Councils, the Labour Court, Labour Appeal Court, the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal; in-house enquires; alternative dispute resolution; drafting policies; collective agreements and bargaining, contracts of employment, consultancy agreements and restraint of trade agreements.
