Ask about thisTopes Labour Law Consulting (Pvt) Ltd is a Harare practice dedicated to labour relations law. We act for employees and for employers, so we know how a dispute looks from both sides of the table. Our job is to give you a clear view of your position early, and then to get you the best result through negotiation where possible and through the arbitration or the courts where necessary.

Your contract, payslips, any warnings, notices or letters, and a short written timeline of what happened.
