Clients considering setting up in business in Ireland will need to carefully consider the manner in which they do so. Traditionally business set up can occur as a sole trade, a partnership or the incorporation of a limited company. The way a client selects their business set up will depend largely on the type of business being carried out and the customer base being targeted. There are also risk elements to consider, for example if you set up as a sole trader and your business fails your personal assets could be at risk of sale to pay your creditors.

Employment Law:
The relationship of the employer and the employee can be a complex one, particularly when the parameters of that relationship are not defined from the outset. We provide a confidential and professional service to employers from the creation of their contracts of employment, employee handbooks, policy documents, creation of grievance procedures and staff training.
Employment Law is technical, complex and current. Therefore, it is of the utmost that you are kept up to date with changes in this ever-growing area. With global trade and global migration on the rise and a highly skilled population of workers we at KOD Lyons have seen a significant rise in the number of contentious cases coming before the Workplace Relations Commission and the Courts. We have a wealth of experience in Bullying & Harassment Cases, Dismissal cases (Constructive & Unfair), and Redundancies.
We advise clients, both employee and employee, with regard to contentious employment law cases before the Workplace Relations Commission, The Labour Court, The District Court, The Circuit Court and the High Court as well as advices relating to the Equality Tribunal and the Labour Relations Commission.
