Employment is one of the most sensitive legal relationships in the life of most businesses. An imprecise employment contract, a poorly worded dismissal notice or a missing internal policy may only come to light months later, when a dispute arises and correcting the problem becomes much more difficult.
As a lawyer, I assist both employers and employees. For employers, I help ensure that employment practices comply with the law and operate predictably. For employees, I help you understand your rights and, where necessary, enforce them.
How can I help?

I draft employment contracts, employer information notices and internal employment policies tailored to the way your business operates.

Ongoing legal advice at every stage of the employment relationship, from recruitment to termination, covering working hours, leave, changes to job duties and disciplinary matters.

Who is this service for??
- Businesses recruiting employees or looking to review and update their existing employment contracts and internal policies.
- Employers planning to terminate an employment relationship who want to minimise the risk of future disputes.
- Employees who are uncertain about their rights or are in a dispute with their employer.
- Companies planning to employ foreign workers.
What do we focus on??
Prevention. Most employment disputes can be prevented through precise contracts and clear internal policies. That is why it is worth getting the documentation right from the beginning of the employment relationship.
Documentation. In a dispute, what matters is what can be proven in writing. I help ensure that important steps, decisions and agreements are properly documented.
Frequently Asked Questions
We already have an employment contract template. Is it worth having it reviewed?
Yes. A template works well only when it is tailored to the way your business operates. I review it and identify where amendments may be advisable.
Can I contact you as an employee?
Yes. I also help employees understand and enforce their rights.
