Workplace Relations Advisory

Similar to an in-house employment lawyer

People focused. Resolution driven.

Ongoing workplace relations support for businesses. The confidence of an employment lawyer on your team, without putting one on your payroll.

Workplace relations advisory

Accessible. Responsive. On your team.

When something comes up, you have the confidence to pick up the phone, and we will give you clear, practical answers from lawyers who know your business, because we have taken the time to understand how you operate and what you are concerned about.

Accessible

A direct line to a lawyer who already knows your business.

Responsive

Same or next business day, so you are not left waiting.

On your team

Employer-side, every time. Your interests come first.

The questions do not stop, so neither do we

Most workplace questions do not arrive as a crisis. They arrive on a Tuesday:

Can I performance-manage this person?
Is this contractor really a contractor?
How do I handle this leave request?

Left unanswered, small questions quietly become big problems.

Our advisory service gives you a trusted employment lawyer to call when those questions come up: someone who already knows your business, so you are not starting from scratch every time.

Support that fits your business

Whether you need occasional backup or a steady ongoing relationship, we will shape the support around you. That can include:

A direct line during business hours

For the day-to-day questions, so you get answers in a timely manner.

Proactive reviews

Of your contracts, policies and practices, to help mitigate issues before they arise.

Updates that matter

Plain-English alerts notifying you of law changes in ways that affect your business.

Priority help

When something bigger lands, from someone already across your operation.

Flexible arrangements

From ad-hoc advice to a regular retainer, matched to how often you need us.

Why businesses choose ongoing support

We already know you

No re-explaining your business every time, no matter which of your people we speak to. We pick up where we left off.

Predictable, not painful

Ongoing support turns legal advice from a one-off bill into a planned, manageable cost, and we can design support that suits your budget.

Prevention by design

Being close to your business means we help you spot issues early, when they are easier to fix and can be more cost-efficient than defending a claim.

Always in your corner

Focused on outcomes for you, your business and your people.

Monthly advisory retainers

Choose the level of support that suits your business

Each retainer gives you a set number of advice hours every month, a regular review of your contracts and policies, and a response within one business day when something comes up. Retainers run month to month with no lock-in contract.

Advice hours are allocated each month and must be used within that month. Unused hours do not roll over. Response times are measured in business days and the nature of the advice required may affect how quickly a full answer can be provided. The monthly retainer is paid 7 days in advance into our trust account, and retainers and any additional work for the month are invoiced within 7 days after the end of the month, with payment due 7 days from the date of invoice. We require 14 days' notice to cancel the upcoming month's retainer. Full terms and conditions are set out in our costs agreement, provided before you accept.
