Employment Law
At MDY Legal we appreciate that the most valuable asset of any organisation is its personnel and that the careful management of human resources is the key to success. We advise organisations, HR managers and senior executives with skill and sensitivity across the full range of employment issues, ensuring practical and cost-effective outcomes.
Our employment law services include:
- Employment contracts, consultancy contracts and secondment agreements
- Staff handbooks and workplace policies
- Senior executives
- Terminations and settlement agreements
- Data protection and privacy/social media
- Restrictive covenants and team moves
- Bonuses, share options schemes and share incentive plans
- Disciplinary and grievance proceedings
- Reorganisations and redundancies

Many of the Firm’s clients operate on an international platform, which means that workplace issues have multiple dimensions: a strategic level, a cross-border level and a local dimension on the ground. We can also provide employment law advice as part of institutional development projects in developing countries funded by bilateral and multilateral donors.
