| Australian
workplace law is a complex jigsaw puzzle of
the common law, legislation (of which there
are 16 key statutes) and industrial instruments
(awards and workplace agreements), each component
of which must be considered to provide high
quality professional advice.
Advice:
we provide advice on all areas of the law
at work, including: the common law of contract
(including making changes to these and bringing
them to an end); independent contractor
agreements; industrial relations (including
the development and interpretation of awards,
enterprise agreements and industrial disputes);
unlawful termination; unfair dismissal;
redundancy; occupational health and safety;
anti-discrimination; intellectual property;
workplace surveillance; privacy and reputation.
Advocacy:
we appear in all relevant Courts and Tribunals
on behalf of our clients; including the
Federal Court of Australia, the Australian
Industrial Relations Commission, the NSW
Industrial Relations Commission, the Human
Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission,
the Administrative Decisions Tribunal and
the Chief Industrial Magistrates Court.
Legal documents:
we prepare legal documents which
meet the specific needs of our client and
their circumstances. These include: formal
correspondence; written directions; warning
letters; letters of offer/appointment; employment
contracts; independent contractor agreements;
confidentiality agreements; Deeds of Release;
Service Agreements and Terms of Business
Agreements.
Legal Health
Checks: The price of not
complying with the broad range of laws that
apply in the workplace can be very high.
The price of not ensuring your workplace
arrangements meet your business requirements
can be the difference between a successful
business and a failure. Our legal health
checks enable our clients to be in the driver’s
seat with respect to both compliance and
effectiveness.
Occupational
Health & Safety Risk Assessments and
Compliance Audits: The penalties
for non-compliance with occupational health
and safety (“OH&S”) laws
and the cost of workplace accidents and
injuries can be enormous. Our Risk Assessments
and Compliance Audits facilitate compliance
and reduce costs.
