While
the overriding objective of the Employers
Protection Plan is to minimise exposure
to litigation or compensation claims, mistakes still happen.
And doing the right thing doesn't necessarily insulate employers
from unjustified claims by disaffected employees, or impossible
to implement regulation.
Employees
today have a heightened awareness of their rights and a
greater readiness to litigate. With the stakes often
running into hundreds of thousands of dollars, they're prepared
to leverage the law to maximum personal advantage.
In
this kind of environment every employer needs to be confident
they've got the best possible team to represent and defend
them against a potential claim or prosecution across the
ever increasing areas of exposure.

Over
the last five years, we have been involved in thousands
of formal industrial cases in the federal and state industrial
tribunals and other specialist courts and tribunals. We
have advised, represented and defended employers of all
sizes and across all industries.
