Supporting employers through workplace issues.

We work alongside business owners, directors and management teams to provide practical advice across employment, contracts, risk management and disputes. This includes putting the right frameworks in place early, supporting decision-making as issues arise and stepping in when matters require a more formal approach.

Employment issues often arise in the course of day to day operations. Hiring, managing performance, restructuring teams or responding to complaints all carry legal obligations that are not always obvious at the time.

When issues escalate, whether through a grievance, dismissal claim or regulatory involvement, the impact can extend beyond the immediate situation. It can affect staff, operations and reputation.

Practical workplace advice for Employers and Employees.

We work with employers across Western Australia to address workplace matters as they arise and to reduce the risk of issues developing in the first place. That includes advice on employment law obligations, workplace health and safety requirements, and the steps to take when concerns are raised internally or by a regulator.

We primarily support employers, while also advising employees on workplace rights, disputes and regulatory issues.
Our focus is on giving you a clear understanding of your position and helping you respond in a way that is measured, compliant and aligned with your business objectives.

Managing risk across the employment lifecycle.

Workplace risk does not sit in one area. It runs from recruitment through to termination, and often intersects with safety, compliance and governance.

We assist with:
• employment contracts and contractor arrangements
• workplace policies, procedures and internal frameworks
• performance management and disciplinary processes
• workplace investigations and responding to complaints
• termination, redundancy and restructuring
• compliance with Fair Work Commission and employment legislation
• workplace health and safety obligations and incidents

Where issues arise, early advice can make a material difference to the outcome. We work with you to address problems before they become formal disputes where possible, and to manage them effectively where they cannot be avoided.

Responding to disputes and investigations.

Employment disputes can develop quickly and often require careful handling. This may involve unfair dismissal claims, general protections matters, discrimination complaints or disputes between employees and management.

We represent employers in negotiations, mediations and proceedings before the Fair Work Commission and relevant courts or tribunals. We also assist with responding to regulator involvement, including WorkSafe investigations and compliance action.

Our role is to ensure your position is properly presented, your obligations are met and the matter is handled in a way that limits disruption to your business.
