Workplace Relations

Workplace relations is a political battleground, with laws shifting and changing as political parties search for an edge and try to determine the best policies to lead Australian industry forward. To remain on top of the issues, you need legal advisers in workplace relations that understand your business, your industry and also the changing legal and regulatory framework.

Our Workplace Relations & Safety team is committed to partner accessibility and accountability and developing and implementing strategies that improve operational management that stabilise and improve workplace relations. Our team is driven by people and relationships. Our business boils down to taking a practical and commercial, yet sensitive approach to delicate circumstances that require care and appropriate resolution.

Sounds simple – but it works. Drilling down into issues in this manner, your decisions have clarity as alternatives become clearer.

We deal with employment law issues each day, helping our clients with issues that arise at any stage of the employment relationship – from recruitment to termination. Whatever the issue might be, we work towards an outcome with an eye towards commercial solutions knowing our clients derive great satisfaction from our sensitive approach.

The same goes for equal opportunity issues that might arise, such as sexual harassment or discrimination. We appreciate the delicate nature of the circumstances for all of the parties involved and can safeguard your interests while trying to achieve the best possible commercial outcome for you.

Or take industrial relations. We know that management of workplace issues facing your business – such as workplace change and industrial disputation – depends on us for not only proactive and strategic guidance, but full consideration of the implications for your business and your ongoing relationship with your employees or their unions.

We are recognised for our ability to work through issues with the minimum of fuss.
