Nejib Marzouki

Employment lawyer in Tunis

Employees and employers: contract, dismissal, litigation.

The firm advises and defends employees and employers alike. For an employee, the aim is to have their rights respected; for a business, to take decisions that comply with the Labour Code and the collective agreements.

Most employment disputes can be settled by discussion. The firm tries it where possible, and goes to the labour court when it fails.

When to consult

  • You have been dismissed and dispute the grounds or the procedure.
  • Wages, bonuses or allowances have not been paid to you.
  • You are an employer and have to start a disciplinary procedure or a dismissal.
  • You are drafting or amending an employment contract or internal rules.
  • An accident at work has occurred.

How the firm works

  1. Review of the situation

    Reading of the contract, the payslips and the letters exchanged. The firm tells you what you can claim.

  2. Discussion

    Exchanges with the other party and, depending on the case, with the labour inspectorate, to seek an agreement.

  3. Labour court

    Drafting of the claim, attendance at the conciliation stage and at the trial hearing.

  4. Enforcement and appeal

    Follow-up of payment of the sums awarded, appeal when the decision justifies it.

Frequent questions

Does the firm act for employees or for employers?

Both, never in the same case. Knowing each side's arguments helps to defend either.

I have just been dismissed. What should I do?

Do not sign any document you have not understood. Keep the dismissal letter, your contract and your payslips, and seek advice quickly: court actions are subject to time limits.

Is an agreement possible without a trial?

Often. A well-drafted written agreement ends the dispute sooner than a judgment. The firm negotiates and drafts it.
