Challenging a Termination
Has your employer initiated dismissal proceedings? Or has your employment contract already been terminated, and are you wondering whether this decision was lawful?
Being fired is never a trivial matter. It can have significant financial, professional, and personal consequences. I will work with you to assess your situation and, when warranted, challenge your termination and defend your interests.
Take stock of your situation
First and foremost, it is essential to determine whether your dismissal is justified and whether the proper procedures were followed.
I get involved right from the start, especially if you’ve been summoned to a preliminary hearing or if you’re facing suspension.
I review your entire case:
- the reason for the termination (misconduct, poor performance, unfitness for duty, economic reasons, etc.),
- compliance with the procedure,
- the circumstances surrounding the breakup,
- and the available evidence.
This analysis helps you assess your chances of successfully challenging the decision and determine the most appropriate strategy.
Challenging a termination: What are the issues?
Challenging a dismissal isn’t just about “saying it’s unfair.” It involves following a structured process with concrete stakes:
- to receive compensation for wrongful termination,
- to be awarded, in certain situations, damages for wrongful termination,
- to have damages (emotional, financial, or professional) recognized,
- to challenge an unjustified penalty or sanction,
- or to ensure your rights are upheld (notice period, severance pay, end-of-employment documents).
In some cases, filing a grievance can also pave the way for negotiations with the employer.
A strategy tailored to your situation
Every case is different. In some situations, it is necessary to file a claim with the labor court. In others, an out-of-court settlement may be considered, either alongside or prior to formal proceedings.
I can help you with:
- build a strong case,
- gather and analyze evidence,
- determine the best strategy (litigation or negotiation),
- and represent you in the appropriate courts.
I represent clients before the labor court and, if necessary, before the court of appeals.
Support every step of the way
I will guide you through every step of the process:
I make sure you understand every step and every issue, so you can move forward with confidence.
