Baltinglass sits in south-west County Wicklow, about 45 km from Wicklow town, and someone searching for an employment law solicitor in Baltinglass is usually dealing with a specific problem at work rather than browsing. It might be a dismissal that feels wrong, a redundancy that doesn’t add up, or a grievance that has gone nowhere. We advise employees and employers from this part of the county on those matters and others, and we can arrange a consultation without you needing to travel to one of our offices first.
Why the Way You Respond to a Workplace Problem Matters
In our experience, the early steps taken in an employment dispute often matter as much as the underlying facts. An email sent in frustration, a grievance raised without thinking through what you actually want from it, or a long delay before getting advice can all make a straightforward matter harder to resolve. None of this means a problem is lost if the early steps weren’t ideal, but it does mean that getting advice sooner rather than later tends to give you more options, not fewer.
We also see the opposite: employers or employees who get in touch at the first sign of a dispute and want to understand where they stand before deciding anything. That’s usually the better position to be in. We look at the facts you bring us, the documents that exist (contracts, correspondence, minutes of any meetings), and what current employment law says about your particular situation, and we build the advice from there rather than offering a generic view of what might happen.

Advising Clients Across Baltinglass, Donard, Dunlavin and Hollywood
We work with people from Baltinglass and the towns around it, including Donard about 11 km away, Dunlavin roughly 13 km off, and Hollywood a little further at around 18 km. This is a part of Wicklow where a lot of work is local, whether that’s farming, small business, retail or commuting further afield, and employment problems here are rarely identical to what we see in a larger town. We take that into account when we’re advising on a redundancy process, a workplace grievance, or a dispute that might end up before the WRC.
Our offices are in Dublin 7 and in Kilkenny, but clients from anywhere in Ireland, including Baltinglass and the wider south-west Wicklow area, can contact the firm through the website and arrange to be advised by Richard O’Shea, solicitor, without needing to call to either office in person.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to an office to get advice?
No. Consultations can usually be arranged by phone or video, which suits clients in Baltinglass and the surrounding area. If a meeting in person is preferred, that can be discussed when you make contact through the website.
What kind of workplace issues can you advise on?
We advise on unfair dismissal, constructive dismissal, redundancy, WRC complaints, discrimination, bullying and stress at work, grievances, protected disclosures, settlement agreements and employment contracts, among other matters. What applies to your situation depends on the circumstances and current law.
How soon should I get advice after a workplace problem starts?
Getting advice earlier generally gives you more options, since steps like raising a grievance, responding to a disciplinary process, or dealing with time limits can affect how a matter develops. We would encourage you to contact us as soon as a concern becomes clear rather than waiting until it escalates.
