Dentons Hamilton Harrison & Mathews is home to a well-experienced employment team that often advises both domestic and international clients on the full spectrum of employment matters, including unfair dismissals, mass redundancies, and trade union matters. The practice is jointly steered by Michi Kirimi, who is highly capable of handling restructuring and redundancy matters, as well as representing clients in labour disputes, and corporate and commercial expert Richard Omwela. Lorna Mainnah is a key point of call for employment-related immigration mandates, and Ezra Makori acts for clients in employment litigation.
