Employment

Employment Discrimination Class Action

Employment Discrimination Class Action
A regional employer with operations across the UAE was served with a coordinated claim from a group of former employees alleging discriminatory treatment in a redundancy round. The claim, if it succeeded, risked both a significant financial award and lasting reputational damage in a market where the employer relied heavily on its standing with local partners.
We reviewed the redundancy process in detail, identified the genuine business justification documented at the time, and prepared a defence built on that contemporaneous record rather than on reconstructed reasoning after the fact, a distinction that carries real weight before the relevant tribunal. Parallel settlement discussions were kept open throughout in case a negotiated outcome served the client better than a prolonged dispute.
The matter was resolved via a negotiated settlement on terms materially better than the claim's original demand, without an adverse finding against the employer's redundancy process.
