Employment & Labor Lawyer — Legal Protection for Employers and Employees

Employment relationships are among the most sensitive and heavily regulated areas of business law. L&L Consulting provides legal representation for both employer companies and individual employees, protecting the interests of each side in labor-related matters.

Our objective is twofold: to help businesses establish legally sound internal processes and prevent risks before they escalate, while also defending the rights of individuals who face wrongful treatment, discrimination, or unlawful dismissal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can an employee claim if they believe the dismissal was unlawful?

Depending on the circumstances, the employee may seek annulment of the dismissal, reinstatement to their previous or an equivalent position, court-awarded compensation, and payment of lost earnings for the relevant period. The specific remedy depends on the facts of the case and the legal strategy chosen.

What are the deadlines for challenging a dismissal?

If the employee wishes to obtain written justification for the termination, they must request it within 30 calendar days of receiving the notice. The employer is required to provide this justification within 7 calendar days. From that point, the employee generally has 30 calendar days to challenge the dismissal in court.

What should a company do when a labor inspection begins?

It is essential to assess the scope of the inspection in advance, review internal documentation, establish the company's legal position, and ensure proper communication with the inspection authority from the outset. Early legal involvement often reduces both procedural and financial penalties.

How are delayed wages or overtime claims pursued?

The first step is a legal review of the employment contract, internal documentation, working-time records, and the actual scope of the claim. Under the Georgian Labor Code, the employee is entitled to 0.07% of the delayed amount for each day of delay, while overtime work is compensated at an increased hourly rate, with the specific amount determined by agreement between the parties.
