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.
We were attacked by ladies with my friend and they followed us for about 3km.They were close to +-15 people , they were using knobkerries,sjamboks and stones to attack us acting on self-defence .They went to police station to open a case and it was during that period of 16 days of activism.I was so injured that I went to the Dr for being treated and I opened case against them on the 28 Nov but on Friday 13Dec24 police sent me case number and the case is not yet been investigated.
I want to appeal an arbitration award for non payment of S&T allowances. I feel the commissioner did not take important information (like the acceptance letter with explanation of in principle that was in the transfer letter )when reaching her conclusion. Also taken things that were not tabled during the hearing.
My husband filed for a divorce and we are married out of community of property without the accrual. We are staying in Ngodwana and I told him that if I need to move out of the house to Nelspruit, it is going to be costly and I will not be able to afford it. I got the summons on Friday, and there are some of the items that I do no agree with. I was also pouring my money into the house month after month and I said to him that we need to do some sort of a contract, because I do not even have a policy and his answer was that we do not need a contract, because he will look after me. I said to him I do not trust men because out of previous experiences, and he said he is not like other men. I need to move out this coming weekend, I got a place in Nelspruit. I did my calculations and I will not be able to even buy groceries or travel to Ngodwana for work. I even have no idea what he earned monthly and where he spent his money: I was even supporting his dad that was staying there for 4 years. Even when we went away I was the one doing the payments. We went to NZ in January, and when he got his bonus now in December, he refunded me his part of the spending, but what about the rest of the years: we have nearly been married for 13 years. I was paying the car and insurance, it is in my name, but he was also driving the car, I was buying the groceries, I was buying his close, I was buying bedding etc, for the house. He was only paying the medical aid and the roof over my head, which is a company house and the monthly payment is very little. From the end of January I also need to pay my own medical aid. He needs to pay me a lump sum or maintenance: he was well aware of the way we were married, but he promised to look after me and I want to keep him to his word.
Misrepresented by my lawyer (Legal Aid) No communication. Not given a chance for a prop consultation or listen to my side of the story. No advise or guidance from her side. I’m only requested for signing the documents or submit the evidence and documents. No phone calls, no sms or updates. The last document I received from her made me realize that I don’t actually have a Lawyer to represent me. I’ve been in this marriage for 10 years, living in an abusive marriage, my husband he’s a womanizer who sleeps with multiple woman and impregnated another woman out of our marriage. I forgive him and accepted to raise his son as my own, now he wants to divorce me and move on after I sacrificed everything for this marriage. He wants to take everything and give me 40 % of his pension fund. He moved some of the assets from the house, including 3 cars that he never mentioned while his evaluator came for inspection. I told my lawyer about all this information and she said I must provide my own evaluator of which I can’t afford one. I’m unemployed, my husband made me resign twice and told me he will support me. I’m currently unemployed without any spousal support from him. I really need your assistance. He moved out of the house to live with his new girlfriend and left me with nothing, no money no groceries in this December. I will really appreciate your assistance.
I am married under Muslim rights for around 9 years now, not under government law. We have 3 children, all of whom are going to schools I've put them into next year, I'd like to keep them with me at least most of the time. I see to the children's education, that they're in schools and programs that will help them grow. I've also been the breadwinner since we got married and I'm afraid their won't be much stability if they stayed with their mother. I'm also afraid that they might get hurt around her while she's throwing any of her temper tantrums
