Crowley Solicitors is a leading regional law firm based in Cork, who have a special interest in employment law and industrial relations, family law, general and commercial litigation.

Employment and Industrial Relations

Crowley Solicitors provide an extensive range of legal services to clients on all aspects of employment law and industrial relations. We favour a commercial and practical approach to problem-solving and work very closely with our clients to find practical, effective and creative solutions to their concerns.

Internal Investigations and Disciplinary and Appeal Hearings

Employers have a right and a duty to appropriately manage their employees.  Appropriate management is a challenging process and there is no such thing as a one size fits all rule for each scenario that arises in the workplace. We take a partnership approach with our clients and guide them through this process.  Advice at this time can be effective to ensure the employment relationship moves forward in the appropriate way.  If litigation arises, careful management can position our clients to rigorously defend the proceedings.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Crowley Solicitors is a full service litigation firm.  We have significant experience in handling a broad range of disputes both within the public and private sectors from commercial disputes to general breach of contract, insolvency and professional indemnity disputes. We provide advice to clients prior to the commencement of proceedings from strategic, pre-litigation guidance, through to managing large scale, complex litigation. Our experience is reflected in our vigorous representation of our clients before the District, Circuit, High Court, Commercial High Court, and Supreme Courts. We are also experienced in using alternatives to litigation such as mediation, facilitation and conciliation, where such methods can help achieve our client’s goal.

Equality Law

Health and Safety Law

Health and safety impacts upon every aspect of the employment relationship, from bullying and harassment and work related stress to the operation of machinery in safety critical workplaces.  Knowing and understanding the importance of ensuring effective health and safety management is essential.  Prevention is the key.

Privacy and Data Protection

Developments in the area of privacy law and related matters are becoming an increasingly complex subject that can require specialist legal advice.  We advise a broad range of clients in both the public and private sectors on a full range of issues relating to data protection law, freedom of information legislation, health and safety law, and various rights and responsibilities for employers and employees in the workplace.
