The Employment Relationship is one of the most important relationships in our lives and can often become contentious and difficult for all involved.
At CS Law, we have experience helping both employers and employees navigate the complexities of employment law at every stage of the employment relationship.
For employers — We believe preparation is key. We can help you ensure that your business is prepared and ready so that if employment issues do arise it can be managed efficiently and effectively, while preserving the interests of everyone involved.
For employees — We understand that when employment issues arise they can often feel too big to manage and can impact day-to-day life. We can help support you when this happens and ensure that you have professional representation and advice.
Ultimately, whether you are an employer or an employee, we understand that when these issues arise it can be incredibly stressful and time-consuming. Our focus is on pragmatic, cost-effective advice that recognises the interpersonal dynamics of the employment relationship and provides you with clear guidance on the way forward. We know how to resolve disputes one on one without resorting to formal court processes to ensure the best outcome for everyone involved. However, where formal processes are unavoidable our litigators have experience before the Employment Relations Authority, Employment Court, Human Rights Review Tribunal, and more.
