Employment and Industrial Relations

We have advised major clients on the legal and practical aspects of employment and industrial relations laws in Jamaica. We have also assisted during major mergers and acquisitions to ensure that clients have a complete understanding of this important area from the negotiation and due diligence stages of the transaction.

We have also assisted with post-acquisition redundancies involving several hundred workers to ensure full compliance with all aspects of Jamaica’s Labour Laws.

We have assisted with the structuring and drafting of agreements with workers, independent contractors, consultants, CEOs and managers and we draw upon our relationships with specialized counsel for the benefit of clients in areas outside of our expertise such as union negotiations and industrial dispute tribunal matters.
