We translate employment law into practical strategies that are aligned with our clients’ business or professional goals, helping to build strong teams, navigate workplace challenges, and allow our clients to move forward with confidence and clarity.
Our employment team supports clients throughout New Zealand and overseas with specialist employment law advice, including personal grievances, disciplinary processes, restructures and redundancy, restraint of trade matters, disputes, breach of contract claims, employment agreements and policies, collective agreements and union matters. We simplify compliance with legislation including the Employment Relations Act 2000 and the Holidays Act 2003, provide education and information on changes to the law, and deliver robust legal support for health and safety obligations.
We attend mediations, and appear in the Employment Relations Authority, Employment Court and appeal courts.
Whether clients are managing workplace change, raising or defending a claim, navigating employment aspects of mergers and acquisitions, engaged in collective bargaining, or have WorkSafe or a Labour Inspector knocking, we deliver clear, effective legal solutions that protect our clients’ businesses and reputations.
Our senior employment lawyers remain accessible and engaged, providing the right level of input for each situation, from straightforward queries to complex issues requiring strategic oversight. Known for our responsiveness and pragmatic advice, we tailor solutions to suit our clients’ environment, risk profile, and needs.
Our employment law team receives excellent feedback from clients, and is ranked in Chambers Asia-Pacific and Legal500 international legal directories, recognising our practice area specialists, high level of expertise, commercial insight, and client-focused service.
