Workplace disputes can escalate quickly, affecting morale, operations, and reputations. At Kayrouz & Associates, we resolve employment-related and corporate conflicts with discretion, clarity, and strategic focus.

Practice Overview

We represent employers, employees, shareholders, and corporate officers in disputes arising from employment relationships and business conduct. Whether it’s a contract breach, termination disagreement, or executive misconduct, our team ensures every case is approached with legal rigour and a focus on resolution.

Our lawyers are skilled negotiators and litigators, able to defuse conflict through early intervention or present a compelling case before courts and arbitration panels when necessary. We aim to protect business continuity and reputational standing while securing fair outcomes for our clients.
