Employment & Labour

The most important resource of an organisation is its people and the ability of a company to properly deploy this resource is key to the success of the company. Our immersion strategy allows us to provide the best-fit solution that will match our client's aspiration. We utilise lawyers from around our firm whenever necessary to enable best practice in areas such as tax and contractual agreements.

We offer legal services in such areas as Employee Benefits and Pensions, Employment Contracts and other issues arising therefrom, Retirement Benefits and other related matters within the ambits of the regulatory laws.

Voluntary and involuntary disengagement of employees are recurring decimals in the life of an organisation. Our lawyers have thus been engaged by expatriates who were in the employment of multinational corporations, to claim contractual benefits denied to them at their involuntary exits from such corporations and they have done this through several successful litigations at the various divisions of the National Industrial Court in Nigeria. We also routinely issue proper termination or involuntary disengagement advisory to organisations desirous of right-sizing their manpower engagements.
