Employment Law
The system of regulation of employment and industrial relations in Australia is complex and constantly changing. Having successful employment relationships — whether as an employer or employee — depends on knowing how to work within the system, and how to develop and maintain strong connections.
We can help you navigate the employment and industrial relations system with certainty and clarity, and enhance the relationships that are so pivotal to the success of the system.
We have worked with clients in a diverse range of industries (including Commonwealth, State and Territory government, construction, higher education, banking and finance and FMCG), and understand and apply best practice in employment and industrial relations matters.
We can help with:

Unfortunately, sometimes unsafe work systems can result in personal injury to employees. If you have been injured at work (physically or mentally) then you may be entitled to compensation.
Your entitlements may arise from a workers compensation claim (which is a no fault system in the ACT) or a common law negligence claim (if your injury was caused by your employer’s negligence).
If you were injured in the ACT, we can assist you to understand your rights and ensure that the compensation you receive is fair and in line with your entitlements. Contact us to understand what avenues might be available to you.
