Employment Advice
Our consultative approach to employment law sets us apart from others. Whether you're an employer or employee, tell us what's important to you and that's where we'll start.
Employers
You need an employment lawyer who is approachable and available. When you feel like you can talk to us, we'll both do our best work. We believe that establishing an open rapport with our clients' HR teams and managerial staff will ensure a trusted relationship that serves everyone in the best way.
You should feel comfortable ringing us before reacting to a situation which could result in a personal grievance claim. Often a quick call to us to clarify the process or possible outcome won't cost you anything, and can save your organisation thousands of dollars.
While we regularly appear in the Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court, our approach is to help clients resolve issues early wherever possible, to avoid the need to progress that far.
Employees
If you've had a rough time at work, we're here to hear your side. We help employees to resolve their employment issues quickly - often one phone call from us can straighten things out immediately. We offer practical advice, talk to you in simple terms and tell you straight if we don't think you've got a case.
You can rest assured that we have the best outcome for you at the heart of what we do. We can assist you with the full range of employment-related issues from unfair dismissal, redundancy, and performance management through to parental leave queries, or dissatisfaction with an action your manager has taken (e.g. reducing your hours or not paying overtime).
We have a great team of down-to-earth employment lawyers with a wide range of experience. This means that you can be confident that your work will be undertaken at the right level within the firm - you won't be paying more than you need to.
