Manage and incentivise your team with expert employer focused legal services.

Running a business means running a workforce. Contracts, performance, terminations, restructures, underpayment exposures, restraint disputes: every one of them has a legal angle that gets expensive if you mishandle it. We help business owners and HR teams make defensible decisions, fast, so people issues stop pulling you away from the rest of the business.

We'll make sure the hard workforce decisions are also the defensible ones.

From drafting contracts and onboarding senior hires through to defending Fair Work claims and managing exits, we give SME owners and HR teams plain English advice that stands up if it gets tested.

When a matter touches the broader business, like equity, tax or shareholder agreements, we work seamlessly with our full service parent practice ADLV Law so you do not need to brief two firms.

How we can help

Twelve focused services covering the full employment law lifecycle, from drafting contracts and onboarding staff through to performance management, lawful exits, and defending Fair Work claims. Our employer-focused offerings are primarily managed through ADLV Law, meaning you have access to experts across all areas of law for SMEs.

Why getting employment law right matters for your business

An unfair-dismissal award typically lands at six months’ wages plus legal costs. A serious underpayment can hit double once the Fair Work Ombudsman’s penalty regime gets involved, and the worst exposures attract director-level liability.

A workplace investigation done badly creates new claims instead of resolving the original one. And every employment matter that sits unresolved drains your time and your management team’s attention away from the actual business. We help you act early, document properly, and resolve quickly. For matters that touch the wider business, like equity vesting on a senior exit, shareholder agreements during a restructure, or tax exposure inside a remediation, we work alongside our parent practice ADLV Law so you get integrated commercial advice without briefing two unrelated practices.

Get the call before you make the decision.

The first call is free and takes about ten minutes. Long enough for us to tell you whether you have a problem, what the path looks like, and what the realistic cost will be. Most workforce decisions move quickly. Do not wait until the matter is already in dispute.
