Protecting the rights of employees and employers.
The workplace is where most Australians spend the greater part of their lives, and when something goes wrong at work the consequences are rarely confined to the office. Income, reputation, health and family are all affected. That is why employment matters demand advice that is fast, clear and strategic.
We act for both employees and employers. For employees, that means protecting your rights when you have been dismissed, sidelined, bullied or treated unlawfully, and making sure any settlement or termination properly reflects your entitlements. For employers, it means managing workplace risk before it becomes a dispute — well-drafted contracts and policies, lawful performance management, and confident handling of complaints and investigations.
Many employment claims are subject to strict time limits — unfair dismissal and general protections (dismissal) applications must generally be lodged with the Fair Work Commission within 21 days of the dismissal taking effect. If you believe you have a claim, seek advice promptly.
Whether you are an employee seeking advice or a business managing workplace issues, we provide practical solutions that minimise risk and achieve results.
We take detailed instructions, review your contract, policies and correspondence, and give you a frank assessment of your rights, risks and realistic outcomes.
Employment law is deadline-driven. We move quickly to preserve your rights, lodge applications in time and put you in the strongest negotiating position.
Most workplace disputes resolve without a hearing. We prepare every matter as if it will be contested, which is precisely what produces sensible settlements.
Where a resolution cannot be reached, we provide determined representation before the Fair Work Commission, courts and tribunals.
