Affordable, pragmatic employment law advice

My experience as both a lawyer, human resources practitioner and manager of teams helps me provide legal advice that offers practical real-life solutions. I will always aim to provide you the short bullet point summary and practical tools to progress a matter, rather than long arcane advice that still leaves you doing most of the work.

Staying across ever-changing legal requirements can be time-consuming. I can draft and review employment contracts and policies to ensure you're meeting your compliance obligations and your workforce has a suite of easy to understand terms and conditions of employment.

Every employer will at some point have to face into disputes in the workplace or claims being brought against them. I provide advice on how to reduce the risk of this occurring and, when it does, help you navigate towards the right outcome for your business.

Understand award and agreement coverage is essential to ensure you are paying your workforce correctly. Underpayment and compliance issues can cost your business time, money and reputation. I can provide advice that ensures you are meeting your obligations and, where issues are uncovered, providing timely and well-communicated remediation.

Effectively managing workplace issues such as underperformance or misconduct helps keep your workforce engaged and reduces the risk of employees later successfully claiming they were treated unfairly. 

Sometimes termination of employment is necessary - whether as a result of underperformance, misconduct or simply restructuring. I can guide you through these issues in a legally compliant way.
