Employment Law Services

We handle a wide range of issues related to the employer-employee relationship. Our work includes advising, representing, and supporting both employers and employees in various aspects of workplace relations.

We advise employers on compliance with Irish employment laws, including the Employment Equality Acts, Unfair Dismissals Acts, and the Organisation of Working Time Act. We also inform employees about their rights under Irish law, such as entitlements to leave, fair treatment, and safe working conditions.

Our services include drafting employment contracts and negotiating these contracts to ensure they are fair, clear, and legally compliant.

Patrick J. Sweeney Solicitors have extensive experience in representing clients in legal proceedings at the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), handling claims related to unfair dismissal, discrimination, and wage disputes.

We advocate on behalf of clients in appeals and other matters before the Labour Court, as well as managing employment-related cases in the civil courts, including contractual disputes and cases involving significant damages.

We also advise employers on lawful redundancy processes, including consultation requirements and severance packages, and provide guidance on the implementation of anti-discrimination policies and practices in the workplace.

Our team represents clients in equality claims of discrimination, harassment, and victimization under the Employment Equality Acts.
