How we work with our clients

Small to medium size business specialist
No retainer contracts or monthly fees
Extensive industrial relations experience

We build long term relationships - not just another voice on a hotline.

We take a user friendly approach

Employee relations is getting quite complex and onerous on employers. We take the “tell me exactly what I need to know” approach to guiding senior management on employee relations issues – making the process as user-friendly as possible.

We prefer to prevent problems when they are small

We work to minimise (or even eliminate) the risk of unfair dismissal or adverse action applications proceeding to hearing in the Fair Work Commission or Federal Court.

We do not do hard sell

I don’t like it being done to me and we don’t do it to our clients. We’ll let you know what’s available and make recommendations and then it’s up to you.

As a potential new client, if you wish to catch up over a coffee to discuss how we could work together, please let me know.

We do not have monthly retainers or lock in contracts.
