This advice can relate to issues arising during recruitment, employment and termination.

2. Representation
We provide representation - either with or without the assistance of counsel - at Tribunal hearings and at all associated interlocutory matters.

Principal areas of work

• Preparation of Employment and Service Contracts
• Due diligence
• Support on employment issues arising from mergers and acquisitions (including pension issues)
• Disciplinary proceedings
• Protection of business secrets and confidential information
• Restriction on competition by former employees
• Restrictive covenants

All-Ireland and international links
Tughans has a formal association with William Fry, one of Dublin’s leading law firms, enabling both firms to offer an all-Ireland service. We also have close links with other firms principally in the City of London and in the United States of America. Consequently, the firm regularly handles the Northern Ireland aspects of multi-jurisdictional transactions.
