Collective bargaining

Our wealth of labour law experience is based on the legal services we offer to trade unions and employers in the process of creating trade unions, and in collective bargaining processes involving the conclusion and amendment of collective bargaining agreements. We represent clients in resolving collective bargaining disputes concerning the conclusion of collective bargaining agreements and the fulfilment of obligations under collective bargaining agreements.

On an individualised basis, we provide legal consultancy to employers for the purpose of assessing the efficacy of collective bargaining agreements covering temporarily assigned employees.

We help guide constructive and sensitive dialogue between employers and employees at the level of collectively bargained labour relations and within the amendment and termination thereof, while placing emphasis on compliance with all relevant legislation and collective bargaining agreements.
