Legal services / Employment law
I advise employers on employment contracts, workforce changes and employment disputes. I assess the available options before decisions are made and handle the agreed documents, negotiations and other necessary steps.

Are you hiring an employee, changing terms of employment or considering ending an employment relationship? We will identify the support you need based on the circumstances and any steps already taken.
I draft employment contracts and executive agreements tailored to the role. I can also advise on confidentiality and other special terms.

I assess the grounds and required procedure before a temporary lay-off, termination or other personnel decision.
Statutory change negotiations · temporary lay-offs · termination of employment
I assess your company’s position, the relevant documents and other evidence, and the cost exposure. We then agree how to respond to a claim or pursue a resolution.

What has happened, what is your company considering, and what has already been communicated to the employee?
Which contracts and employment terms apply? What must be established to support the proposed measure?
Which steps, documents and deadlines need to be considered before the decision and when implementing it?
A clearly defined drafting assignment can be offered at a fixed fee. Broader procedures and the course of an employment dispute are assessed separately.
VAT is added to the prices. The final scope and fee for services listed with a starting price are agreed separately.

Prices for documents and statutory change negotiations are starting prices and exclude VAT. The starting price for termination documents does not automatically include an assessment of the grounds, an employee hearing or the entire termination process. We agree the necessary stages and either a fixed fee or a fee estimate before work begins.
Ideally, before a personnel decision is made or a message is sent to the employee. If the matter has already progressed, tell me what has been done and whether any deadlines apply.
Not automatically. Assessing the grounds, hearing the employee, drafting the documents and handling a possible dispute may be separate stages. We agree the required scope and pricing in advance.
The hourly rate for employment disputes is €200 plus VAT. You receive a fee estimate before each agreed stage. In addition to Uhmu’s fees, I assess other costs, the risk of having to reimburse the other party’s legal costs and the terms of any legal expenses insurance.
Yes. These services are designed for companies and employers, with your company’s circumstances, obligations and business needs as the starting point.
Choose a guide based on the stage of the employment relationship. The guides provide general background; the requirements and procedure for an individual personnel decision must be assessed separately.
