Our service is characterised by the solutions-oriented approach when dealing with our clients’ problems.

We recognise the need to provide holistic solutions which are legally sound and in accordance with industry best practices.
Our clients are major corporations in banking and finance, insurance, transportation, telecommunications, petroleum and utilities.
We are able to offer prompt and practical solutions as a result of our keen understanding of their organisational and business objectives. We also offer practical training to our clients that is crucial to the implementation of their Industrial Relations and Human Resource plans.
Our expertise includes:
We also advise our clients on the legislative and regulatory framework relating to industrial relations issues such as the Industrial Relations Act 1967, the Employment Act 1955, the Human Resource Development Act 1992, Employees Social Security Act 1969, Employees Provident Fund Act 1991, Workmen’s Compensation Act 1952, Minimum Standards of Housing and Amenities Act 1990, Wages Council Act 1947, Children and Young Persons (Employment) Act 1966 and Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 and the respective regulations made thereunder.
