How Can Our Employment Lawyers Help?

Kells focuses on getting claims resolved with the least impact on our clients as possible. Keeping clients out of court and resolving disputes in the least adversarial and mutually advantageous way is our priority.

To achieve this, our team has experience in a range of mediation skills as well as access to external mediation facilities and legal and non-legal specialists.

On those occasions where litigation through the courts is the most effective process for achieving resolution and compensation, Kells’ lawyers work with our clients to manage the conflict most effectively, at all times ensuring clients are kept up-to-date with progress and are fully informed.
