Employee termination and dismissal can involve significant legal and commercial considerations, particularly where roles are senior, performance issues are complex, or risk exposure is high. Clear legal advice helps employers make termination decisions that are defensible, proportionate, and aligned with broader business objectives.
We Understand What You Are Going Through
Terminating an employee’s employment is rarely straightforward, particularly where the employee is senior, long-serving, or holds a critical role. You may be balancing performance concerns, conduct issues, business pressures, or relationship sensitivities, while also considering legal risk and organisational impact.
In complex situations, uncertainty often arises around process, timing, documentation, and how the termination may be perceived or challenged. Decisions made at this stage can have lasting consequences for the business.
We understand the pressures employers face when navigating difficult termination decisions. We help you work through these matters in a calm and practical way, so decisions are made with clarity, confidence, and appropriate risk management.
