With some of Australia's leading workplace lawyers, we're the go-to team for large organisations with challenging workplace needs. 
            Overview
We'll work with you right through the employment relationship, from hiring through to management, across the full spectrum of employment law, including workplace relations, industrial relations, work health and safety, executive remuneration, and discrimination and diversity.
Firepower when you need it
We always work to keep our clients one step ahead through training and comprehensive advice, so they can anticipate and avoid employment-related risks – but if those risks materialise we'll use our formidable disputes experience to protect you.
A broad vision of workplace relations law
We've worked in multiple sectors, and that rich experience informs our approach and helps us spot the novel and unexpected risks, and devise a fresh solution.
