Employment & Workplace lawyers in Australia

Employment lawyers advise employees and employers on unfair and constructive dismissal, redundancy, settlement agreements, discrimination and harassment, contracts, and tribunal claims. Strict time limits apply to tribunal claims, often three months, so early advice matters. A short consultation clarifies whether you have a claim or exposure and the most cost-effective way to resolve it.

Australia is a common law country where solicitors and barristers are admitted in a state or territory. Matters are heard in state and territory courts, the Federal Court, the Family Court and the High Court of Australia.

Frequently asked questions

What is the time limit for an employment tribunal claim?+

Most tribunal claims must be started within three months less one day of the event, after going through Acas early conciliation. Because the window is short and strict, it is important to take advice as soon as a problem arises.

Do I have to pay for settlement agreement advice?+

When your employer asks you to sign a settlement agreement, they usually contribute towards your legal advice, which can cover most or all of the cost. Your lawyer will confirm this before you proceed.

Can a lawyer help if I have been unfairly dismissed?+

Yes. A lawyer can assess whether your dismissal was fair, what compensation might be available, and whether to negotiate an exit or bring a tribunal claim. A short consultation gives you a clear, realistic picture.
