We were honoured to have our Partner, Ernest Sembatya, and Principal Associate, @ntalex1, represent us at the recently concluded @elaglobal Africa and Middle East Employment Law Conference in Casablanca, Morocco. We are proud to have contributed to such an impactful gathering!

Attended the @elaglobal Africa and Middle East employment law conference in Casablanca, Morocco, organised by @CasaFinanceCity and CWA Morocco, this week. As a panellist, I discussed issues including restraint of trade in employment, remote working, harassment and redundancies.

Honored to moderate this discussion. It was enlightening, covering various measures to protect social benefits, compliance with labour laws, and collaboration with stakeholders. The panel's assertive stance on equality and inclusion in employment benefits enriched the audience.

@ug_lawsociety @patrickturinaw1 @MMAKS_Advocates @BmalinguOundo @musallan @BaryaruhaJr @Atkundaisaacpl1 @matsikogodwin Great and insightful panel discussion with Kenneth Tumusiime on common employment disputes, filing of labour claims, evidence collection and presentation and current trends in employment litigation. Thank you @ug_lawsociety for organizing and @patrickturinaw1 for moderating.

Day two: Panel discussion on employment litigation moderated by @patrickturinaw1. @ntalex1, Principal Associate @MMAKS_Advocates highlights the challenge of gathering evidence when employees are terminated, with their emails blocked and laptops confiscated. This hinders the ability to present evidence effectively. Additionally, the high turnover rate in some organizations poses difficulties in finding witnesses who may have already left. Kenneth Tumusiime, Partner @GreystoneLawUG notes that employment disputes often revolve around procedural issues, such as the jurisdiction of courts. He cites confusion regarding the appropriate court for filing cases, with discrepancies between worker's compensation matters (to be filed in magistrates court or high court) and labour matters (to be filed before the labour office and the industrial court). He further encourages lawyers, especially when representing an employee, to be well-versed with the disciplinary procedures. A lawyer should be able to assess whether the employer followed these procedures properly, as any deviations could be grounds for seeking compensation and damages for the employee in cases of unlawful termination. He reiterated the importance of attention to detail and thorough understanding of legal processes in employment litigation. #Litigation24
