Our lawyers have been instrumental in drafting the major new labour market laws since 1994, including –

• the Labour Relations Act, 1995
• the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, 1997
• the Employment Equity Act, 1998
• the Skills Development Act, 1998
• subsequent amendments to these Acts

 
Many of our directors have and continue to serve as acting judges of the Labour Court, and several of our former directors have gone on to take up permanent appointments at various higher courts in South Africa.
In addition to our extensive labour litigation services, we advise on:

• fair labour practices
• organisational rights of workers and employers
• compliance with labour market legislation
• minimum employment standards
• employment equity
• skills development
• employee benefits
• occupational health and safety
• grievance and disciplinary procedures
• contracts of employment
• retrenchments

 
We have a proud record of many precedent setting decisions in South African law. In litigating, we provide both a strategic approach combined with jurisprudential excellence, characterised by a fierce independence.
