• unlawful discrimination on the basis of a disability, sex, race, age, marital or domestic status, sexual orientation, and carer responsibility
• effectively managing underperforming employees

What we do and how we can help:

Workplace disputes are rarely straightforward.

We work with our clients to develop strategies to resolve employment and workplace disputes quickly and efficiently as possible.

We try and avoid expensive and protracted litigation, where possible.  However, where litigation is required, our strategic and forensic approach to litigation ensures that our clients achieve the best possible outcome.

Our point of difference:

• innovating from experience
• aligned with the law
• on your side

The firm is practicing in areas that we do best – employment and administrative law, and we have extensive experience in foremost government and private legal teams.  You cant find that in our competitors in Canberra, and where they exist, they have a mixed practice that doesn’t let them specialise.

We only take on a few clients at any one time – and we will continue to do that to make sure the client gets all the attention.
