What makes us different?
At CKT, we pride ourselves on our ability to listen and understand what our clients require and our ability to deliver that service in a timely and cost effective way. As advisors to State bodies, Schools, Universities, large corporations and small companies, we ensure that our advice is tailor-made to each individual business’ requirements. While the majority of our clients are employers, we also regularly represent high-level employees and offer an understanding that allows us to see both sides of every situation.
Our solicitors are involved from the recruitment of employees to their termination. Our clients appreciate the in-depth working knowledge of their particular business and its needs to such an extent that our non-contentious advisory work significantly limits our client’s exposure to contentious issues in the workplace.
Each member of the employment team at CKT is CEDR Accredited Mediator assisting us in finding a practical solution to the most complex of workplace issues.
CKT is a recognised expert in employment law in Ireland. We are a regular contributer to Legal Island, a multi-award winning workplace compliance company, frequently providing expert analysis of topical and landmark Judgements.
