Senior employment counsel for Brisbane employers and senior executives — contracts, restructures, performance management, and exits, handled commercially and without drama.
Tell us a few lines. We respond the same business day — no obligation.
You’ll hear from us by the end of the next business day.
Performance has been patchy, the role has shifted, the conversation hasn’t been had cleanly. You want a senior view on procedural fairness and a written plan before you act — not after.
Restraints that won’t hold up. Confidentiality clauses with holes. Modern award classifications you can’t verify. You want a clean set drafted by someone who actually reads them.
Genuine redundancy is a defence — but only if the process is right. You want consultation, selection, and redeployment handled in a way that survives Fair Work scrutiny.
You’ve been offered (or imposed) terms. You want a senior commercial lawyer on your side — not a generalist — to negotiate the exit, equity, and post-employment restraints.
Even if you don’t engage us, the call is worth your time. Here’s exactly what you’ll have by the end of it.
We tell you what we actually think — including whether you need a lawyer at all, and whether we’re the right one for this matter.
A written summary of what we’d do, in what order, and what you should do first — whether or not you engage us.
If it makes sense for us to do the work, we send a fixed-fee quote (or a clearly capped scope) by the end of the call. No “we’ll get back to you.”
Handled a difficult termination cleanly. No claim landed, no drama on the team.
Negotiated my exit package up by $180k and trimmed the non-compete to something workable.
Rebuilt our contracts and policies in three weeks. Saved us a Fair Work case six months later.
Client names withheld for confidentiality. Available on request.
Every paragraph of advice carries its weight. Plain English. Trade-offs surfaced early. We tell you what we’d do if it were our matter.
Work is measured in outcomes, not in hours billed. We pick the shortest credible path to a good result — not the most thorough-looking one.
Transparent fees. Same-day acknowledgements. Plain-English correspondence. You should never open an invoice and be surprised.
Scope is agreed before any work starts. You’ll receive a written engagement letter with a fixed fee (or capped scope, for open-ended matters) before you commit.
A few lines via the form below. We acknowledge the same business day.
An honest read, clear next steps, and a fixed-fee quote if it makes sense.
Written scope, fixed fee. Nothing starts until you sign off in writing.
Delivered, walked through with you in plain English, and the file is closed cleanly.
Employment contract drafting starts at $850 per role. A termination strategy with a written plan starts at $1,800. Senior executive exit negotiations sit between $4,000 and $10,000 depending on complexity. You’ll have a written fixed-fee quote (or capped scope) before any work begins.
Primarily employers — founders, SMEs, and mid-size businesses — and senior executives on the employee side. We focus on commercial-grade engagements where a strategic view matters more than volume.
Move fast. Unfair dismissal applications run on a 21-day clock. Get in touch the day you receive the application — most claims resolve at conciliation if the response is handled properly from day one.
Yes. We conduct external investigations for bullying, harassment, and serious misconduct complaints, and we advise employers running their own internal investigations. A clean process protects the employer regardless of outcome.
We’ll come back the same business day with a time. The call is free, has no obligation, and you’ll walk away with clear next steps either way.
You’ll hear from us by the end of the next business day with a suggested time.
