About Us

You’re in
the right
place

ADIEM is a specialist practice led by three Principals offering expertise across employment law and administrative litigation, commercial and property law.

Our clients are at the centre of what we do. We deliver pragmatic solutions and seamless representation to those that engage us; especially for the most complex legal challenges.

Workplace Disputes & Performance Management

We’ll advise you on terminations, performance management, discrimination, complaints or other challenges faced at work.

Worker’s Compensation and Comcare

It’s crucial you understand your entitlements following a workplace injury. We’re here to clarify them for you and deliver the best result.

Bullying & Harassment

If you’ve been a victim of abuse in a workplace, we will provide specialist advice to ensure your rights are upheld.

Employment Contract Law

Our expert advisors can review your employment contract and remuneration, ensuring their consistency with current workplace laws.

Whistleblower Protections

If you suspect or witnessed wrongful conduct within your workplace, we’ll guide you on the correct process of reporting it.

Workplace (Code) Investigations

We’ll provide timely and expert advice if you’re under investigation or undertaking a disciplinary process in your workplace.

Work Health and Safety

Each employee, and employer have a range of responsibilities under the Work Health and Safety rules.

Property and Commercial Law

For over a decade we have acted for small, medium and large developers across Canberra and NSW, from contract negotiations to real estate transactions.

Innovating from experience

Our experience within distinguished private and government legal teams led us to work differently and innovate through a discerning specialisation in what we do.

We only advise a very limited number of clients at any one time and only in our areas of specialisation – employment law & administrative litigation, commercial & property law, because that’s what we do best. This may sound restrictive, but it allows us to work closely with you to provide focussed strategies that is often unachievable in larger full-service firms.

Aligned with the law

As accomplished practitioners in employment, and administrative law, we deeply appreciate and strive to uphold the ethics and traditions of law.

Our passion for our craft drives us to take our practice seriously, where we maintain the highest standards in every way, and deliver industry-leading strategies with quiet confidence.

On your side

We’re confident and knowledgeable in what we do, but we’re also always easy to talk to.

Engaging us offers the experience of working with a human, not a large law firm particularly as we only take on a select number of clients at any one time. Prompt and responsive, we engage directly with our clients from the first interaction, bringing the best of our personality to what we do.
