FOR LAW FIRMS
Examples of services for law firms include:
An extra pair of hands when staff are on holidays, on parental leave or when times are busy.
Handle litigation or employment law issues when those areas of the law are not part of your core competency.
Provide strategic advice on human resources decisions, disputes or litigation.
Assist in large disclosure tasks. With experience in managing large electronic document databases, and the ways in which metadata can be utilised as an investigative tool, Anna is highly experienced in performing disclosure.
Help you as a business, by assisting in managing internal performance management issues, and conducting investigations into employee grievances and workplace behaviour.
The right advice sooner rather than later can save a lot of wasted time, money and emotion, and can enable a business to get on with what it does best.
For those matters where proceedings are inevitable, the rules and processes of litigation can feel opaque and confusing. Having an understanding of the process, the available options and the likely outcomes makes an otherwise stressful experience manageable, enabling informed decisions to be made and for control to be retained.
Employment law is complex. Applying, and abiding by, relevant State and Federal employment and industrial relations laws, regulations and modern awards can be a constant juggle and requires regular compliance review. We have the skills and experience to review your internal procedures, systems, policies, contracts and agreements to minimise risk in the event of an employee claim or regulator investigation.
