Labour Law & IR

Labour Law, handled.

Whether it's a growing team or a difficult employee matter, we step in where you need us most — drafting the contract, chairing the hearing, or standing up for you at the CCMA. An extension of your HR team, always on your side.

What we do

From the contract to the CCMA — one team, on your side.

We step in where you need us most: drafting contracts, running disciplinary processes correctly, and representing you at the CCMA and Bargaining Council — so a small issue never grows into a costly one.

Labour audits & annual review

We audit your labour practices, produce the reports you need, and run an annual review — so small issues never grow into big ones.

Contracts & policies

We draft your employment contracts and workplace policies, and keep them current as the law changes.

Misconduct, incapacity & retrenchment

Misconduct, incapacity, poor performance, retrenchment — we run these sensitive processes correctly from start to finish, protecting you from the procedural mistakes that cost employers dearly.

Disciplinary hearings

We chair your hearings, or coach you through them, so the outcome stands up to scrutiny.

A dedicated Labour Relations consultant

You get a named consultant who knows your business — not a call-centre queue.

Templates & legislative updates

A comprehensive library of labour templates, plus clear, practical updates on changes in employment legislation and workplace compliance.

CCMA & Bargaining Council representation

Representation is included in your retainer. Where a matter heads to the Labour Court, we instruct our panel of labour lawyers, with rates agreed up front. Our track record: 0 cases lost at the CCMA.

How we work

A simple partnership — from first call to year-round support.

Four steps that turn a daunting labour problem into a clear plan.

Needs analysis

An initial consultation, in person or online, to understand your challenges and goals.

Tailored proposal

We identify the gaps and scope a solution to fit your business — not a one-size-fits-all package.

Implementation support

Once you sign off, we build the solution and track progress with you.

Continuous improvement

On a retainer, we keep you compliant and improving year on year.

Common questions

Labour law, answered plainly.

Can you represent us at the CCMA?
Yes. CCMA and Bargaining Council representation is included in our Labour Law retainer, and where a matter goes to the Labour Court we instruct our panel of labour lawyers. Our track record: 0 cases lost at the CCMA.
What's the difference between retrenchment and redundancy?
Redundancy describes a role that's no longer needed; retrenchment is the legal process of ending employment for operational reasons, which has strict procedural requirements. Getting the process right is what protects you — and it's exactly what we manage.
An employee won't attend their disciplinary hearing. What now?
A hearing can proceed in the employee's absence if it's handled correctly and fairly. We chair these hearings, or guide you through them, so the outcome stands up if it's ever challenged.
