Specialist legal advice on contracts of employment under Irish law

Every employment relationship in Ireland is governed by a contract, whether written or implied. The Terms of Employment (Information) Act 1994 places a legal obligation on employers to provide employees with a written statement of their core terms and conditions. Whether you are an employer drafting contracts or an employee reviewing what you have been given, getting proper legal advice is essential.

At Crushell & Co, we advise both employers and employees on all aspects of employment contracts. From reviewing and drafting contracts to resolving disputes over terms and conditions, we provide clear, practical legal guidance to protect your position.

Drafting & Reviewing Contracts

We draft and review employment contracts for both employers and employees, ensuring all terms comply with Irish employment legislation and that your rights and obligations are clearly set out from the start.

Terms & Conditions Disputes

We advise where disputes arise over pay, working hours, job descriptions, restrictive covenants or any other contractual terms. Where an employer has made unilateral changes without agreement, we assess your options and advise on the best course of action.

Implied Terms & Custom and Practice

Not every term of employment is written down. We advise on implied contractual terms arising from custom and practice, including bonus arrangements, flexible working, and other conditions that may have become part of the contract over time.
