A notice of termination review in Ireland checks a notice of termination against the employment contract and Irish employment law, for employees who have received one or employers about to issue one. It confirms whether the notice period is correct, explains statutory minimum notice and identifies procedural errors or potential claims. It covers a legal review and written advice; WRC representation or further action can be quoted separately.
This is a self-complete template: you complete it yourself using the guidance notes. The price is set, with no billable hours and no surprise invoices, and the service is fully online, so there is no need to travel to an office.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a notice of termination review cost in Ireland?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
What is statutory minimum notice in Ireland?
It depends on length of service, starting at one week for employees with at least 13 weeks’ service and increasing with service. Contracts can give longer notice.
What if my dismissal was unfair?
The review identifies potential claims. WRC claims generally must be brought within six months.
