It is vital that you are aware of all your legal requirements concerning employer obligations.  These legal requirements are constantly evolving due to changes to both State and Federal workplace laws.  Recent ongoing changes to the Fair Work Act have resulted in many employers not complying with current legislation and thus becoming exposed to potential court action.  At MBA Lawyers we believe that when it comes to employment and workplace relations law, prevention is definitely better than cure.

The relationship between an individual employee and the employer can be as informal as a shake of the hand, or as formal as a complex Executive Employment Agreement.  However, in both cases the parties will be contractually bound and have rights and obligations.  The better managed the process of negotiation and agreement, the less the risk of litigation. We can assist you in:
Minimising risk.

• The negotiation and drafting of Employment Agreements, both simple and complex.
• The negotiation and drafting of restraint and confidentiality clauses
• Advice and representation in litigation regarding the enforcement or defence of restraint and confidentiality clauses.
• The drafting of workplace policies and procedures especially anti-discrimination and workplace harassment policy.
• Managing the termination of an employee.
• Representation in unfair or unlawful dismissal proceedings.

Many business operators engage us to review and advise on the current workplace systems and procedures. Those business operators then have the comfort of knowing that their focus may be fixed upon making their business profitable, rather than having their time, energy and resources consumed by employment and workplace law claims.

Many employees seek our assistance to unravel the complexities of employment contracts and to explain their rights, both at law and within the contact itself.

However it is not just MBA Lawyers’ expertise which sets us apart.  Our focus on client communication, staff education and training and commercial outcomes means that our clients receive a superior legal product, tailored to their specific legal needs.

Our Senior Consultant Jonathan Flannery is an experienced veteran of this area of law and is able to assist business operators to achieve business focused outcomes and compliance with their workplace employment law requirements.
