Overview

Despite your best efforts, there may be times when an employee will take action against you, which can be draining both emotionally and financially. Our team at NB Employment will work with you to find a way forward and find solutions that suit your best interests.

  • Preparing a response or defence to an application
  • Taking affidavits and/or witness statements
  • Establishing legal arguments and conducting research
  • Instructing Counsel (Barrister) if required

Solutions as your business grows

As your business expands, you may encounter challenging situations. This includes dealing with a disgruntled employee or someone you’ve had to let go who decides to sue.

Preventive measures

Most of the time, these matters can be settled via pre-conference discussions, exchange of correspondence, conciliation conferences, or mediation — all conducted without prejudice.

Engaging legal support

We strongly recommend engaging lawyers as early as possible, ideally as soon as an application has been served. The sooner your legal representation gets involved, the better your chances of reaching a practical and commercially sensible resolution.

When litigation is inevitable

Sometimes, unfortunately, litigation becomes unavoidable due to strategy, the intent or actions of the other side.

Facing a lawsuit from an employee can be an emotionally charged experience for you as a business owner. It’s not just about the legal complexities involved. It can be frustrating and stressful, making it hard to stay focused on the practical aspects of the situation.

As your legal team, we’re here to help guide you through your options, helping you understand each step and what it means for your business.

How we can help

When emotions run high, having a neutral perspective is invaluable. We offer an objective viewpoint that helps keep the focus on resolving the issue effectively.

Minimising financial impact

Lawsuits can be costly, and we aim to find a resolution that minimises the financial impact on your business.

Reducing emotional stress

We understand the emotional toll a lawsuit can take. We strive to reduce this stress by providing clear, consistent communication and reliable support.

Ensuring business continuity

While dealing with a lawsuit, keeping your business running smoothly is important, and we work to ensure that the legal process causes minimal disruption to your operations.

Remember, we are here to help you navigate this challenging situation so you can focus on what you do best – running your business.
