The law firm “DE-JURE” is included in the TOP-50 leading firms of Ukraine in 2025, providing, among other things, consultations and support of extra-judicial and judicial disputes on the application of current labor legislation of Ukraine.
A consultation with a labor law lawyer is an opportunity to receive qualified explanations on various issues related to labor relations. Both an employee and an employer may need a consultation, for example, when drafting or terminating an employment contract, in the event of disputes regarding wages, work schedule, vacations, disciplinary sanctions, etc.
The consultation begins with clarifying the client’s request and the reality of its implementation. The lawyer interviews in detail about all the nuances related to the problem. Based on the data provided, he analyzes the situation, explains the legal provisions and offers possible solutions based on the interests of the client.
When seeking legal assistance in matters related to the resolution of labor disputes, it is important to provide the maximum number of documents. In most cases, it is the employee who applies to protect their labor rights. Often, they only have an order from the employer, which does not detail the real reasons for dismissal, and which they consider unlawful. However, to fully assess the situation, it is necessary to analyze the entire range of circumstances preceding the emergence of disagreements between the parties to the employment contract and the documents confirming them.
Therefore, the missing documents are requested from the employer as part of the pre-trial procedure. In the practice of the “DE-JURE” law firm, such a step allows us to quickly establish whether there have been violations of the employee’s labor rights and the prospects for their effective elimination. First of all, the following documents are analyzed:
But each situation is individual, and the list of documents may vary depending on the specific circumstances. It is important to take into account that labor legislation is constantly changing, and protecting the interests of the employee requires a professional approach and knowledge of current regulations in a specific calendar period.
How does a consultation on issues related to labor disputes take place? Legal advice on labor disputes begins with a personal conversation with the client. This is necessary for a detailed clarification of all the circumstances and legal components of the conflict. Even a small detail, for example, an employer’s announcement of a vacancy on social networks, can affect the outcome of the trial and become the basis for reinstating an employee dismissed due to staff reduction.
A lawyer assesses the situation from “different angles”, excluding the emotional component of the conflict. It is important to transfer the dispute from the area of personal disagreements to the legal plane, to determine the real legal perspective of the case. After this, a defense strategy is developed aimed at achieving the client’s goal. All time and financial costs are taken into account and optimized.
A consultation allows you to understand the legality of the parties’ actions and choose the best way to protect the client’s interests within the framework of labor legislation.
In some cases, the employer prefers to resolve the conflict without bringing the case to court. Mediation in labor conflicts can be a way out. This is a method of resolving disagreements between an employee and an employer without litigation. It is based on negotiations conducted with the participation of an independent mediator, who helps the parties come to a mutually acceptable agreement.
Often labor disputes arise due to insufficient knowledge of current legislation, especially in wartime. A labor dispute lawyer helps a client understand the real legal consequences of his situation, separating objective facts from inflated and sometimes false expectations.
The main goal of a specialist is to guide the client to a constructive understanding of the conflict and an assessment of its further legal prospects. A lawyer’s assistance can lead to the following results:
After identifying the inappropriateness of pre-trial protection, a lawyer draws up a claim for a labor dispute in order to obtain a fair court decision on the labor dispute that has arisen.

A model for organizing labor relations is a system of normative rules governing the relationship between employees and the employer. The process of creating a model includes an analysis of current legislation, the specifics of the company, and the interests of the parties.
One of the forms of preventing labor conflicts between the employer and the workforce and an incentive to comply with labor law at the enterprise is a real collective agreement. A lawyer develops a collective agreement, adapting it to the conditions of a specific enterprise. The model of a collective agreement proposed by a lawyer equally determines the terms and procedure for remuneration, work schedules, social guarantees, and mechanisms for preventing labor disputes.
Local regulatory legal acts are internal documents of a company that regulate labor relations in its workforce. They are created by adapting and individualizing labor law norms to the needs of a specific business and reflect in their content the specific activities of a specific employer.
Such acts include internal labor regulations, bonus provisions, job descriptions, work schedules and other documents. They are necessary to establish clear rules, prevent conflicts and ensure parity between the rights of the employer and the guarantees of employees. Lawyers of the “DE-JURE” company help in the development of any regulatory legal acts.
