Labour Law

Specialist counsel from the Duma Nokwe Group of Advocates — part of our Labour, Employment & Pensions practice.

Labour laws (also known as labor laws or employment laws) are those that mediate the relationship between workers, employing entities, trade unions, and the government. Collective labour law relates to the tripartite relationship between employee, employer, and union.

Where we act

Our labour and employment members act for employers, employees, trade unions, retirement funds and dispute-resolution bodies. They appear in the Labour Court, Labour Appeal Court, the CCMA, bargaining councils and private arbitration forums.

How we work

Briefs may be sent directly to a named member or routed through our clerk, who will recommend the most appropriate counsel by seniority and area of focus. Opinions, drafting, mediation, hearings and appeals are all undertaken on the standard JSA tariff with clear scoping at the outset.

Who briefs us

Our Labour Law members act on instructions from attorneys representing organs of state, listed and unlisted companies, NGOs, professional bodies and individuals across South Africa.

Brief our Labour Law team.

Whether your matter is urgent or strategic — our clerk can route your enquiry to the right specialist within hours.
