Egypt Employment and HR

In the current working environment, conflicts between employers and employees are nearly unavoidable. Regardless of the reasons for the dispute, resolving labor conflicts requires extensive legal expertise, strategic thinking, and complete adherence to the Egyptian Labor Law.

Sadany & Partners Law Firm is one of the distinguished law firms in Egypt. At Sadany & Partners, we provide litigation services for settling labour disputes and represent both companies and employees in all industries.

Why Employment Dispute Litigation Requires Specialized Expertise

The Egyptian labor laws and regulations are mainly subject to Labor Law No. 12 of 2003 and several ministerial resolutions, which provide the full criteria regulating the labour relationships. These laws address issues such as end-of-service benefits, severance pay, workplace safety, and workers' rights.

When conflicts occur, it is necessary to hire an efficient labor advocate who can:

* evaluate your legal situation precisely,

* rake the legal proceedings at the Egyptian Labour Court and file the labour lawsuit,

* set a robust litigation plan,

* work to preserve your rights or minimize the probable risks protectively, and

* Support or refute the compensation claims thoughtfully and strategically.

At Sadany & Partners, we bring extensive legal experience and strategic foresight to the Egyptian employment environment, enabling us to achieve positive outcomes for our clients.

* Wrongful Dismissal Claims: We advocate for the employees who object to the arbitrary dismissals and employers who wish to justify the termination of service.

* Conflicts over Unpaid Salaries and Benefits: We are taking legal action to refund the unsettled wages, incentives, and other benefits, or to refute claims made by the employer.
