Labour lawyers assist with a range of workplace-related issues including employment contracts, dismissals, workplace discrimination, wage disputes, and grievances. They can represent clients in negotiations, disciplinary hearings, and at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA), as well as in Labour Court proceedings.
Employers should look for a labour lawyer with experience in corporate labor law and a deep understanding of the specific challenges businesses face. It’s important to evaluate their familiarity with crafting employment policies, handling collective bargaining issues, and defending against wrongful termination or discrimination claims. Employers might also value a lawyer who can provide proactive compliance audits and training to prevent future legal issues.
Employees should seek a lawyer who has a strong track record of advocating for workers' rights. Key considerations include the lawyer’s experience with cases similar to yours, their approach to handling disputes against employers, and their ability to negotiate severance or settlements. It's also crucial that they can explain your rights and options clearly, helping you understand the best course of action for your situation.
The fee structure can vary depending on the lawyer’s practice and the complexity of the case. Labour lawyers may charge an hourly rate, a flat fee for specific services, or on a contingency basis (a percentage of the settlement or award). Initial consultations might be free or offered at a reduced rate. Discussing the fee structure upfront can help avoid misunderstandings and ensure transparency.

Hi there I'm seeking for a labour lawyer to defend me in the case that my company has laid against me. I'm dismissed from my job because the HR and the boss said I committed a fraud in the company. The truth is I didn't commit any fraud from the company. Then I want to take the matter to CCMA as this is going to be the second time.
I have been singled out for retrenchment in my department as I am being told that my position has been made redundant. I have been asked to choose when I can be retrenched, 6 months from now and in those 6 months look for a job or now. I would like a labour lawyer's advice and guidance as this company has just confirmed me to permanent position in September after a 6 months probation. kind regards,
I believe I was unfairly dismissed because my employer has not been consistent in their application of discipline. I have documentary evidence since I was a HR officer chairing disciplinary hearings at work. Now, I want to be represented at the Bargaining Council of Civil Engineering Industry because the person who chaired my disciplinary hearing is a Labour lawyer.

Hello.. I need help. My child was knocked by a car. And the driver was drunk. They even took her from the scene to the clinic without informing the police first. I went to the police station to check if the case was opened. No one there is willing to tell me anything. They even refused to do a breathalyzer test. On him. They took him from the clinic straight to his home. I am still at the station. They are even refusing me to talk to the station commander. What steps should I take. The child is at klerksdorp hospital now. The driver was also under influence of alcohol.
I am still employed by the company, my charges have been changed 3 times. The Policy internally does not allow a lawyer but they have granted me an olive leaf to have representation. I have been suspended since Nov . In Aug I have been advised that I am unpaid suspension. There is no representative from the company. I have filed an unfair labor practice case in CCMA and there is so many things that is bot kosher. These people have a inconclusive investigation and no evidence to back anything they are stating. The infomation from my laptop has been tampered with and moved to another device.
