Employment, Disputes and Litigation

There is not always an easy answer to resolve a dispute, and some matters require an aggressive approach developed from a position of knowledge and experience. However, sometimes, it is better to avoid protracted litigation and to allow your team to focus on commercial endeavours. In these matters, a negotiated resolution may be pragmatic and cost effective compared to pursuing a victory based on principle alone.

A tailored strategy can significantly impact how a matter progresses and ensures your business avoids unwanted public attention and costs. We regularly act in complex matters before the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, the Federal Court of Australia, State Courts, and industrial Tribunals and Commissions (such as the Fair Work Commission), and can provide solutions in the following matters:

  • General protections Employer’s Response;
  • Response to Unfair Dismissal Applications;
  • Defence of Stop Workplace Bullying and Stop Sexual Harassment Applications;
  • Underpayment and wage theft allegations;
  • Responses to Discrimination Complaints involving race, religion, sex, disability, pregnancy, and family responsibilities;
  • Breach of contract and restraint of trade matters; and
  • Misuse of confidential information and breach of fiduciary obligations.
