Dispute Resolution

An employer is free to terminate an employee’s employment for no reason during probation and, even where it relates to poor performance, the employer is not obliged to observe fair procedure but where the termination is for misconduct fair procedures must be observed.

– No-Fault Dismissal (Insight)

Professional , attentive, competent and always looking out for what was best for us.

– John Mee, Sidero

Richard Martin is articulate without being slick and has the confidence to go off script, if not off-piste. He is frank and his answers appear considered rather than contrived. He is the sort of person you would trust to deliver bad news.
