Employment disputes may involve pay, changed working conditions, disciplinary measures or termination. The initial review identifies the documents governing the employment relationship and the sequence of decisions. Assistance may be discussed by employees or employers, subject to separate assessment of interests and the proposed mandate.
How legal assistance can help
The review may cover contracts, amendments, internal orders, documented wage claims, applications, responses, negotiations and litigation. For an employer, work may also address the documents needed for a particular procedure. For an employee, the focus includes the disputed act, its effects and evidence of work and payment.
Employment agreements; dismissal; wages; workplace disputes.
Documents for the first discussion
Bring the employment contract, job description, amendments, orders, notices, payment records and correspondence. Include the full termination or disciplinary decision and its notification date. For money claims, provide an explained calculation and the records supporting it.
Consultation and working arrangements
The initial discussion clarifies the facts, your objective and the current stage of the matter. Tell the office whether you have received a summons, decision, notice or any document requiring a response. The complete document and the date it was received help assess the situation. A short chronology separates established facts from points that still need supporting evidence.
Before accepting a matter, the office checks whether assistance can be provided, including possible conflicts of interest. After reviewing the documents, the available options, evidence, foreseeable procedural expenses and scope of representation are discussed. The terms of engagement depend on the work required and are agreed directly. A case outcome depends on the facts, evidence and the competent authority’s assessment; it cannot be promised in advance.
Consultations at the Chișinău office are by appointment. If you are elsewhere in Moldova or abroad, communication arrangements, language and document delivery can be discussed first. Start with a brief summary; detailed files and sensitive information can then be sent by the agreed method. A contact form submission is an enquiry. Representation is accepted and confirmed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can I seek advice before signing a termination agreement?
Yes. Provide the proposed document and explain the discussions so far. Understanding an agreement before signing differs from later challenging an act. The lawyer can assess the wording and matters that need clarification in the particular circumstances.
How are options assessed before litigation?
The review starts with complete documents, provable facts and your objective. Strengths, difficulties, procedural expenses and missing records are discussed. An initial assessment may need revision after access to the file or the other party’s position. The purpose is an informed decision about the next step, not a guarantee of success.
Can I start with a remote discussion?
You may request an initial discussion using an agreed communication method. State your location, documents received and any scheduled procedural dates. The office will clarify what can be reviewed remotely and what formalities representation may require. Office meetings are arranged in advance.
