Employment Law

Employment law sets the legal framework governing the relationship between employers and employees in Lebanon. It includes the relevant statutes, regulations, and court precedents designed to protect workers’ rights while preserving employers’ legitimate interests.

At Azzi Law Firm (ALF), our dedicated employment law team handles a broad range of employment matters, including:

• Employment contracts: Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating employment agreements that clearly define the rights and obligations of both employee and employer.
• Employee rights and benefits: Advising on compliance with rules relating to wages, overtime, leave entitlements, and social security obligations.
• Termination and entitlements: Managing employment termination files and the resulting financial rights, including claims for unfair/dismissal without valid cause, end-of-service entitlements, and disputes arising from termination of employment contracts, as well as following up on procedures to obtain the relevant compensation and benefits from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) in accordance with legal requirements.
• Labour disputes and litigation: Representing clients before the labour courts in matters involving unfair dismissal, discrimination, and workplace harassment.
• Collective bargaining and union relations: Providing legal advice on negotiations between employers and labour unions, with a focus on resolving disputes through amicable and legally sound solutions.

At ALF, we are committed to using all available legal avenues to achieve fair and balanced outcomes in employment disputes. We also prioritize risk reduction and full compliance with Lebanese labour laws. When a workplace dispute arises, our team works closely with clients to develop effective legal strategies aimed at the best possible results, while keeping costs within reasonable limits.
