Employment cases
Reviewing the contract and the entitlements before a settlement or a claim — for employees and employers alike.
Most employment disputes are decided on the documents rather than in the hearing: the type of contract and its date, the reason for termination and how it is evidenced, and what was actually paid in wages, leave and end-of-service entitlements.
The service covers reviewing the file before any step is taken: reading the contract and the employer’s internal regulations, comparing what was performed with what was agreed, listing the claims and assessing which of them stand up.
Amicable settlement is considered before litigation where it is faster and cheaper for both sides — without presenting that as a guarantee of any outcome.

Questions about this service
Signing a release has an effect, but that effect is read in light of how it was worded, the circumstances in which it was signed, and what it actually covered. It is reviewed before any view is taken on the file.
Sometimes, in terms of time and cost. The options are compared plainly, including what is given up and what is gained in each.
