Dublin 24 covers a wide spread of workplaces, from retail and healthcare to offices and trades, and most people searching for an employment law solicitor in Tallaght already have a specific problem on their desk rather than a general question. It might be a dismissal that feels unfair, a redundancy that does not add up, or a grievance that has gone nowhere. We advise employees and employers from this area and can set out where things stand under current employment law.
Dismissals, Redundancies and Disputes That Bring Dublin 24 Workers to Us
A good number of the queries we get from this part of South Dublin involve a dismissal or a resignation that followed months of difficulty, sometimes with little or no process behind it. Others come from people made redundant where the selection or the consultation did not feel right, or where a role was quietly given to someone else shortly after. We also hear from employees dealing with bullying, unmanaged workplace stress, or a grievance raised internally that was never properly dealt with.
On the employer side, we are often contacted before a decision is made rather than after, which tends to be the more useful time. That might mean a question about how to handle a disciplinary process fairly, how to structure a settlement agreement, or what a WRC complaint actually requires in response. Whichever side of the situation you are on, the facts and the paper trail usually matter more than how the dispute feels in the moment.
From First Enquiry to a Clear Plan of Action
The first step is straightforward. You get in touch through the contact page on our website and outline what has happened, and we arrange a consultation at a time that works around your job. Before that meeting it helps to gather your contract, any written warnings or dismissal letters, relevant emails, and a rough timeline of events, though we understand not everyone has all of this to hand straight away.
From there, we go through what you have, explain the options realistically available and what each one would involve, and set out next steps. That might mean a letter to an employer, a WRC complaint, further negotiation, or simply advice on where you stand so you can decide how to proceed. We do not promise a particular result at any stage, because the right course of action depends on the detail of your situation and the current law.

Clients from anywhere in Ireland can contact the firm through the website, and consultations are arranged to suit your working hours rather than the other way around.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come to an office in Tallaght for a consultation?
No. We do not have an office in Tallaght, but we work with clients from across Dublin 24 and the wider area, and consultations can be arranged by phone, video call or in person at one of our offices. Get in touch through the contact page to arrange a time.
I was made redundant and I am not sure the process was fair. What should I do?
How a redundancy is handled, including selection and consultation, can affect whether it was carried out properly, and this depends on the specific facts. The best step is to bring your documents and timeline to a consultation so we can go through what happened and explain your options.
How long do I have to raise a workplace complaint?
Time limits apply to many employment claims, including complaints to the WRC, and these depend on the type of issue and the current law. Because this varies by situation, it is best to seek advice as soon as possible rather than wait and risk missing a deadline.
