How We Can Assist Employers

Our team can assist employers with drafting employment agreements to ensure that your business experiences smooth transitions when staff join or leave your organisation. A clearly drafted employment agreement can be the difference between an amicable separation between employer and employee or a dispute that results in time and money being spent. Clearly drafted employment agreements also assist with protecting your business through properly drafted restraint of trade and confidentiality clauses which continue once an employee leaves your employ.

If you are an employer who is considering dismissing staff or offering redundancies, we can advise you on your obligations to ensure a smooth transition of staff out of your business.

How We Assist Employees

Whether it is advice on an employment contract before you start in a role or advice while in a role, we can assist you in understanding your rights and obligations while at work.

If you are an employee who requires advice on unfair dismissal (see below), rights while employed, or workers’ compensation following an injury, then you should contact us as soon as possible as strict timeframes apply to many applications in the Fair Work Commission or the Workers’ Compensation Commission.

We were in a unique situation where we needed to have our house settled before the 30th of June before the stamp duty concession was no longer available for first home buyers in Tasmania. Our conveyancers were prompt, reliable, and information which supported a quick and smooth sailing process. We would highly recommend!
