Employment

We’re recognised nationally as Australia’s leading employment law practice for employees. If you’ve experienced any wrongdoing in the workplace, our expert employment lawyers are by your side. We offer one-hour, fixed-fee consultations for employment law matters.

Types of employment issues we help with

Our dedicated team of employment lawyers are here to help you understand what you’re entitled to. We can provide our expert legal advice, in plain language, on where you stand and empower you with the knowledge and resources to take the next steps across many areas of employment law, including:

    Unfair dismissal

    If your employment is terminated and the circumstances appear unfair, unreasonable or harsh, you may have a claim for unfair dismissal.

    Employment contract

    Have your employment contract reviewed by a specialist employment lawyer for a fixed fee. We ensure that your current rights and future interests are protected.

    Redundancy

    If you’ve been made redundant or are facing redundancy, it’s important to get independent legal advice. We can help ensure you receive all your entitlements, pay and rights.

    Workplace bullying

    If you’re being bullied at work or have witnessed workplace bullying, our expert employment lawyers can help you and protect your rights as an employee.

    Sexual harassment

    We’re by your side if you’ve been subjected to sexual harassment in the workplace. We provide expert legal advice and assistance to stop workplace harassment, protect your health, ongoing employment rights and professional reputation.

    Discrimination

    If you’ve suffered discrimination in the workplace, including being dismissed, demoted, disadvantaged, bullied or treated badly, we’re here to help you pursue your rights and claim compensation.

    Workplace investigations

    Workplace investigations have become increasingly common. If you’re facing a workplace investigation or other disciplinary matter, an employment lawyer can help you navigate the process.

    Whistleblower protection

    Exposing information or activity that you believe is wrong is stressful and difficult. If you have information you need to share, the best thing you can do to minimise your risk is to get advice from an employment lawyer early.

    Unpaid super

    If you suspect your employer isn’t paying your super properly, you need to set things right. Our expert employment lawyers and superannuation lawyers can help guide you through the process of recovering your unpaid super.

    Executive employment

    If you need advice in relation to restraint of trade disputes, executive contract reviews or contract termination disputes, our executive employment lawyers can provide the advice to suit your needs.

    Workplace injuries

    If you’ve suffered a work related physical injury or your psychological wellbeing has been affected by your work, you may be able to claim workers’ compensation. Speak to our work injury team to learn more about your options.
