When you find yourself in an unfavourable situation at work, whether you are dealing with an unfair dismissal, a bullying or harassment claim or simply needing to better understanding your rights under your employment or industrial relations contract, it is important to seek experienced legal advice when the situation arises. Early intervention may reduce the likelihood of the issue escalating. Our solicitors provide discrete and practical advice to effectively manage the situation.

Navigating the legal landscape can be also challenging for employers. We provide employment law services to businesses of all sizes and industries. We partner with companies who outsource their legal needs including, workplace policy creation, employee contracts, workers compensation claims, performance management, redundancy, harassment and bullying claims.

In some circumstances, an independent workplace investigation is required to substantiate a claim or allegation that has been made which is serious in nature. Often, workplace investigations examine issues that warrant an employee termination if the allegation is proved to be true. A workplace investigation is conducted to uncover any evidence of the adverse event taking place and provides a finding to the employer based on the evidence. Being an independent entity, we are able to impartially examine the evidence and remove the emotion from the situation. It is important that a workplace investigation is conducted by a third-party entity rather than by the organisation itself, to avoid any unfair dismissal claims that may arise if the investigation is perceived to be unfair. We complete workplace investigations, quickly and efficiently so that the matter can be dealt with efficiently and to avoid further disruption to the business.
