Services
Unfair Dismissal Claims
We represent employees facing unjust termination through Fair Work Commission applications and federal court proceedings. Our team examines dismissal circumstances, lodges formal claims, and negotiates settlements while ensuring compliance with 21-day filing deadlines. We've successfully recovered compensation for clients across Australia through our deep understanding of unfair dismissal laws.
Workplace Discrimination
Our specialists handle racial, sexual, disability and age discrimination cases through Australian Human Rights Commission complaints and federal litigation. We help clients document discriminatory incidents, prepare evidence, and pursue remedies including compensation and workplace reforms while maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the process.
Sham Contracting Cases
We challenge misclassification of employees as contractors through federal court actions and award compliance claims. Our team conducts contract analysis, prepares detailed submissions, and pursues back-pay entitlements using landmark judgments like Putland v Royans Wagga to establish employment relationships and recover owed benefits.
Adverse Action Claims
We defend employees victimized for exercising workplace rights through Fair Work Act applications and federal litigation. Our approach includes documenting protected disclosures, preparing comprehensive evidence packages, and pursuing remedies for unlawful dismissal or workplace retaliation under section 340 of the Fair Work Act.
Whistleblower Protection
We represent employees reporting corporate misconduct through Corporations Act protections and federal whistleblower provisions. Our services include documenting disclosures, preparing protected disclosure evidence, and challenging unlawful dismissals while ensuring compliance with recent legislative reforms expanding whistleblower protections across Australian businesses.
