Expert Redundancy Lawyer in Ireland
Dedicated Support for Employees
Losing your job due to redundancy is a highly stressful and overwhelming experience. You likely have immediate concerns about your financial security, your legal rights, and whether your employer is treating you fairly. We provide employees with clear, practical, and compassionate redundancy legal advice. We are here to cut through the legal jargon, review your options, and ensure you receive every cent and protection you are entitled to under the law. If you have been placed at risk of redundancy, do not sign anything until you have spoken with an experienced redundancy lawyer.
Our Redundancy Legal Services for Employees
We offer comprehensive support for employees navigating the redundancy process, from initial consultations to formal disputes. A dedicated solicitor for redundancy can assist you with:
Severance & Compromise Agreements
Employers often offer enhanced severance packages (ex gratia payments) in exchange for signing away your right to sue. We review these legally binding agreements to ensure the terms are fair, tax-efficient, and in your best interest before you sign.
Calculating Redundancy Payments
We verify that your employer is correctly calculating redundancy figures based on your continuous service and normal weekly pay, ensuring you receive your full statutory entitlement.
Challenging Unfair Selection
Irish redundancy law dictates that redundancy must be genuine—meaning the role is no longer needed, not the person. If you were unfairly targeted due to age, pregnancy, or personal differences, or if you were replaced by someone doing the same job, we can help you bring a claim for unfair dismissal to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC).
TUPE Ireland Redundancy
If your company was recently sold or taken over, your employment rights are protected. We advise employees who are facing unfair restructuring or job losses following a business transfer.
Are You Getting What You Deserve?
When a role is made genuinely redundant, eligible
employees (with at least two years of continuous
service) are legally entitled to a tax-free
redundancy payment. Under statutory redundancy
Ireland rules, you are entitled to: Two weeks’ pay
for every year of service. Plus one additional
"bonus" week.
(Note: The statutory calculation is currently capped
at a maximum of €600 per week).
Don't leave money on the table. Many employers offer
enhanced packages above the statutory minimum.
Having a legal professional negotiate or review your
package ensures your financial security is maximized
as you transition to your next role.
