Whatever your industry, employees are
your most valuable asset
Across Australia, modern workplaces are changing. With few industries escaping the lasting effects of the pandemic, traditional approaches to employment are under pressure to evolve. Successfully navigating the resulting legal environment requires a unique combination of experience and versatility.
Throughout this period of transition, one thing has remained unchanged – the central importance of a strong employee and employer relationship. Getting your legal obligations and responsibilities right throughout the employment lifecycle is essential to the success of any commercial operation.
We build sustainable relationships
Our employment and industrial law team is led by Jay Clowes, a Principal and experienced advocate who has spent the past decade carving out a formidable reputation in employment law. From strategic advice to dispute advocacy, he works with clients to create lasting and fruitful working relationships.
Acting on behalf of a range of employers (including SMEs, incorporated associations, and not-for-profits) as well as for employees, we advise across a full spectrum of issues, including unfair dismissal, employment contracts, obligations under awards, and complaints before the Fair Work Ombudsman.
We’re exclusive industry advisors
With years of experience across various commercial sectors, we recognise that what works for one organisation may not necessarily be appropriate for another. From compliance and risk management to industrial relations, we tailor our advice to the nuances of your industry and commercial priorities.
With specialist expertise in the unique challenges facing the waste and recycling sector, we work as a strategic partner to leading groups in the industry, and act as exclusive employment law advisors to the Waste Contractors and Recyclers Association (WCRA).
