Employment Law Expertise For Employers And Employees
Specialist employment law advice grounded in over 15 years of real-world case experience — helping employers prevent disputes and guiding employees through complex workplace issues under Irish employment law.
Employment law is rarely theoretical.
Employment law issues arise in real workplaces, involving real people, pressure, and consequences. They demand more than generic guidance or policy templates.
At Ormonde Solicitors, employment law is not one of many practice areas — it is the core of what we do.
Our experience spans the full spectrum of employment law matters, from advisory and preventative work for employers to representation and advocacy for employees. This dual perspective allows us to assess situations realistically, anticipate challenges, and guide clients with clarity and confidence.
Comprehensive employment law support.
We advise on a wide range of employment law matters, including:
- Employment contracts and terms
- Workplace investigations
- Disciplinary and grievance procedures
- Performance management
- Redundancies and restructuring
- Employment disputes and claims
- Regulatory and compliance issues
Our work is grounded in Irish employment legislation, WRC procedures, and evolving case law — always with an eye on practical outcomes.
Employment law support for employers.
We work with employers to:
1. Identify legal risk before disputes arise
2. Manage investigations, disciplinary, and grievance processes correctly
3. Support performance management in a legally sound way
4. Guide restructuring and redundancy processes
5. Provide calm, strategic advice when issues escalate
Our approach is preventative, pragmatic, and commercially aware.
Employment law advice for employees.
We also advise employees on a range of employment law matters, including unfair dismissal, discrimination, contractual disputes, and workplace grievances.
Our experience acting for employees has shaped our understanding of how disputes develop — and informs the advice we now provide to employers seeking to avoid those outcomes.
Employee matters are handled with professionalism, discretion, and a clear focus on achieving fair, lawful outcomes.
Why perspective matters in employment law.
Employment disputes are rarely one-sided. Each party arrives with their own version of events, expectations, and objectives.
Having acted extensively for both employers and employees, we understand:
- How claims are framed and challenged
- Where procedures are most vulnerable
- How decisions are scrutinised after the fact
- What escalates disputes — and what prevents them
This perspective allows us to advise with realism, not theory.
Preventing disputes before they begin.
Many employment law issues stem from outdated documentation, unclear processes, or decisions made under pressure without legal context.
Our €575 Employer Audit is designed to identify these risks early and provide employers with clear, prioritised guidance on how to address them.
For many clients, this audit is the difference between a manageable internal issue and a formal legal dispute.
When employment issues escalate.
Some situations require immediate legal input — allegations of misconduct, urgent disciplinary decisions, regulatory deadlines, or rapidly escalating disputes.
In these moments, early advice can prevent long-term damage.
We provide rapid, confidential employment law support to help employers stabilise the situation and act decisively
A clear, professional process.

I’m extremely happy with Ormonde Solicitors and I’m giving them a well-deserved 5 stars! From the very beginning, the team showed genuine care and support. They regularly checked in to see how I was feeling, clearly explained everything when I had questions, and guided me through every step of the process. Before finding Ormonde, I had contacted several other firms — many of them were rude or dismissive. In contrast, this firm truly made me feel cared for — not just as a client, but as a person. A special thank you to Daithí Ó’Maonaigh — it was an absolute pleasure working with him. He was kind, professional, and always available. He supported me from the start and helped me reach a fair outcome. Thank you so much for everything! 💙Posted on Eileen PowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
