Employment contracts
We draft employment contracts that clearly set out terms, protect your business interests and hold up if challenged. From remuneration and duties through to restraint of trade, confidentiality and termination provisions.
We make sure every hire starts on solid legal ground and your exposure is minimised from day one.
Workplace policies
& compliance
We draft and review workplace policies that meet your obligations under the Fair Work Act and reflect how your business actually operates. From codes of conduct and performance management frameworks to leave policies and flexible work arrangements.
Clear, compliant documentation reduces risk and gives you a defensible process when it matters.
Managing underperformance & termination
Ending employment for any reason carries real legal risk if the process isn't followed correctly. We advise on performance management, guide you through show cause and termination procedures, and make sure every step is documented and defensible. Done properly, it protects your business and reduces the likelihood of an unfair dismissal claim.
Workplace Fair Work claims
When a claim lands that involves unfair dismissal, general protections, underpayment or discrimination, your response in the first 48 hours matters. We act quickly to assess the claim, advise on your position and represent your business before the Fair Work Commission. Our focus is on resolving matters efficiently and protecting your reputation.
Workplace investigations
When a complaint is made including harassment, bullying, misconduct or discrimination, how you investigate it is just as important as the outcome. We conduct independent workplace investigations and advise businesses on their obligations, ensuring the process is fair, thorough and legally defensible. Getting this right protects the business and everyone involved.
Redundancy & restructuring
Restructuring a team or making roles redundant requires a careful, legally compliant process. We advise on genuine redundancy requirements, consultation obligations and entitlements, draft separation agreements and help you manage the process in a way that's fair, documented and protected against future claims.
