Civil and Administrative Litigation

submitted to a court, about any subject in which one party is claimed to
have committed a wrong, but not a crime. We, at Melrose Bloem Law Offices

administrative review, jurisdiction, and judicial review in the civil courts

Labour and Employment Law
Under Labour and Employment Law we cover all aspects of employee incentives
and work related conditions. In this day and age, employment is a fluid and
fast-changing area of law. Being alive to your obligations as an employer
and recruiting, retaining and managing the right people, has never been more
critical. Non-compliance with obligations can be expensive, in financial and
reputational terms. We, at Melrose Bloem Law Offices focus on developing
individual and creative solutions to modern workplace issues, from working
conditions, employee relations, employment contracts, Human Resources
policies and privacy, to restructuring, relationship breakdowns and dispute
resolution. From an employee standpoint of view, we focus our attention on
(Un)fair dismissal, (Un)lawful termination and General employment advice.
