Court Disputes – Employment Law

GJW Gramza i Wspólnicy provides legal assistance in employment law litigation, representing both employers and employees in employment disputes arising out of employment relationships and other forms of engagement. We handle proceedings involving claims of significant legal and financial importance, providing support both at the pre-litigation stage and in proceedings before the labour courts.

We represent clients in cases concerning, among other things, termination of employment contracts, changes to terms and conditions of employment, claims for reinstatement, damages, remuneration, overtime, bonuses and other employee benefits, as well as disputes relating to workplace bullying, discrimination, unequal treatment, and employee financial liability. We also handle cases concerning the determination of the existence of an employment relationship, disputes connected with civil law contracts, and social security matters, including proceedings against the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS).

The scope of our services includes:

  • representation in disputes concerning the termination of employment contracts and notices of termination,
  • handling cases for reinstatement and damages resulting from unlawful termination of employment,
  • pursuing and defending claims for remuneration, allowances, bonuses, equivalents, and other employee benefits,
  • handling disputes concerning overtime and working time,
  • representation in cases involving workplace bullying, discrimination, and breaches of the principle of equal treatment in employment,
  • support in disputes concerning non-compete obligations, confidentiality, and breaches of employee duties,
  • handling cases relating to disciplinary and financial liability of employees,
  • preparation of litigation strategy and representation at both the pre-litigation and court stages,
  • representation in social security matters, including proceedings before ZUS and appeals against decisions of public authorities,
  • conducting negotiations and mediation proceedings aimed at amicable settlement of disputes and reducing the risk of lengthy court proceedings.

Our approach

Employment law disputes require not only knowledge of legal provisions, but also the ability to assess employment practices, employee documentation, and the organisational and reputational risks connected with the proceedings. For that reason, we analyse every case with regard to its legal, evidentiary, and business context. We focus on ensuring that the litigation position is based on facts that can be demonstrated in court: documents, applicable procedures, and the actual course of the working relationship.

Employment law matters involving significant organisational and reputational importance are handled by the specialised legal team of GJW Gramza i Wspólnicy, which has for years represented employers, employees, and management personnel, including management board members and senior executives. We combine in-depth knowledge of employment law with practical experience in disputes relating to contractual liability, confidentiality clauses, and non-compete restrictions; in matters requiring an immediate response, we provide prompt litigation action and online legal advice. Our objective is to protect the client’s interests in a way that minimises financial and reputational risk, while at the same time pursuing litigation and out-of-court solutions that are optimal for the business.
