Employment law practice head Imraan Mahomed advises employers on all aspect of employment and labour related transactional, litigation, regulatory and compliance related matters.

His input is sought regularly by the media to offer commentary on current labour law issues. He has also acted as a judge of the Labour Court on more than one occasion.

Imraan has vast experience in dealing with all issues affecting employers both in contentious and non-contentious matters. He provides clients with effective strategies on all employment related matters, both at collective and individual level. He advises and also does training across various industries.

A first in South Africa was his successful application to interdict a strike on behalf of the SA Post Office (as the client of a labour broker) where a party who was not the employer was allowed to seek and obtain an interdict against striking employees of another employer.

Together with our Washington DC office he advised PPG Industries regarding its various business entities globally on the severance obligations and legal implications of restructuring one of its subsidiaries as well as on the sale of a business as a going concern.

Also a first in South Africa was his successful application (upheld on appeal) for Tyco Security to declare a picket and demonstration outside its Johannesburg and Cape Town head offices as being unlawful – this was despite the right to picket and demonstrate being constitutional rights.
