Setting Clear Objectives
Your employment solicitor should discuss your expectations and provide realistic assessments of your case. Clear communication ensures you understand the legal process and progress of your matter, reducing confusion and stress.
Providing Clear Instructions
You can assist your solicitor by:
- Providing accurate and relevant information.
- Keeping them informed of any updates.
- Notifying them of important deadlines.
- Responding promptly to queries or requests.
- Being available for meetings or legal proceedings.
- Advising them in advance if you will be unavailable.
Timeline Expectations
Due to the complexity of employment disputes, it is not always possible to provide an exact timeframe for resolution. However, your solicitor will keep you updated on key developments, particularly regarding adjudication dates set by the Workplace Relations Commission.
Excluded Services
Employment disputes often involve multiple legal claims. It is essential to clarify which aspects your solicitor will handle. In certain cases, independent financial or tax advice may be required, and your solicitor can refer you to the appropriate professionals.
Fee Expectations
At the outset, your employment solicitor should provide a written breakdown of their fees and any additional expenses that may arise.
- Most solicitors charge an hourly rate unless a fixed fee is agreed upon.
- Changes to instructions may result in increased time and costs.
Calculating Costs
Your solicitor should provide a reasonable cost estimate based on:
- The complexity and novelty of the legal matter.
- The level of skill or specialized knowledge required.
- The time and effort expended on your case.
Data, Privacy & GDPR
Your personal data may be used to provide legal advice, manage administrative tasks, and facilitate billing. It may also be shared with third parties acting on your behalf, solely for legal and business purposes. Your solicitor should take all reasonable steps to protect your privacy and ensure data security.
Good Communication
Your engagement letter outlines the terms of your relationship with your solicitor unless otherwise modified in writing. Irish law governs this agreement.
Strong communication between you and your solicitor ensures the best possible legal outcome.
