About the firm

This is one of Australia's leading specialist employment law and workplace investigations practices, consistently ranked by Doyle's Guide and Best Lawyers, and a multiple winner of Employment Law Specialist Firm of the Year. With offices in Sydney and Melbourne, the firm advises corporations and government agencies on the full spectrum of employment law — and has built a national reputation for independent, rigorous workplace investigations.
