Employment Law

Our employment and workplace relations lawyers in Melbourne and Mount Waverley advise both employers and employees at every stage of the employment relationship.

We provide clear, practical guidance on employment contracts and workplace policies, performance and conduct issues, workplace disputes, unfair dismissal, discrimination and bullying claims, and compliance with Fair Work obligations.

We assist employers with drafting and reviewing employment contracts, independent contractor agreements and workplace policies, helping ensure they are legally compliant and aligned with your organisation’s culture and risk profile. We also advise on managing performance concerns, misconduct, workplace investigations and redundancies in a way that is fair, defensible and commercially sensible.

For employees, we provide advice on proposed contracts, changes to roles and conditions, performance processes, termination, restraint of trade and post‑employment obligations. Where issues escalate, we represent clients in unfair dismissal, general protections, discrimination and bullying claims, as well as disputes involving bonuses, leave and entitlements.

Our team also advises on broader industrial relations and compliance matters, including enterprise bargaining, union right‑of‑entry, WorkCover claims and OH&S compliance. Whether you need one‑off advice or ongoing support, we focus on resolving issues efficiently, reducing the risk of disputes and helping you maintain a safe, productive workplace.
