The decision to end an employment relationship, whether for an individual or a group of employees, is one of the most legally fraught and sensitive actions a business can undertake. An improperly handled termination or a flawed redundancy process can quickly escalate into a contentious dispute, exposing your organization to claims of wrongful dismissal, significant financial liability, and lasting damage to morale and reputation. Our firm provides expert legal guidance to ensure these challenging processes are managed with precision, fairness, and meticulous adherence to the Georgian Labor Code.
We provide comprehensive legal counsel on the lawful termination of individual employees. This process requires careful navigation of both procedural and substantive legal requirements. Our role is to ensure that every termination is based on sufficient legal grounds and that the correct process is followed, thereby minimizing the risk of a successful legal challenge. We advise on all forms of separation, from terminations for cause based on misconduct or poor performance to negotiated exits. We will guide you through every step, including conducting necessary prior disciplinary actions, documenting performance issues, and ensuring that all statutory obligations are met, providing you with the confidence to act decisively and legally.
When business needs require organizational restructuring, our assistance with redundancy processes is invaluable. A redundancy, or group layoff, is subject to a distinct and stringent set of legal rules that must be followed precisely to be considered lawful. We partner with you to manage the entire process, from developing a sound business case and establishing fair and objective selection criteria to managing employee consultations and communications. A critical component of both individual and group separations is the severance agreement. We are adept at structuring and negotiating severance packages that provide a clear and amicable end to the employment relationship, securing a release of future claims and ensuring a smooth transition for all parties involved.
To ensure every employee separation is handled with legal integrity and strategic foresight, contact our team for expert guidance and support.
