Employment Law Advice. Clear and Practical.

We advise employers on contracts, policies, termination, restraint of trade, and Fair Work compliance, providing straightforward legal guidance that reduces risk and helps you manage your people with confidence.

Employment Law Services for Employers

Employment relationships carry legal obligations that are constantly evolving. Our employment lawyers work alongside Fortuna's HR advisory team, so you get both the legal advice and the practical people management support from the same group of people who know your business.

Employment contracts: Fair Work compliant, clearly written contracts for all roles and levels.

Executive service agreements: tailored agreements for senior and executive appointments.

Workplace policies: legally sound policies reflecting current legislation and how your business operates.

Termination and redundancy: correct process, consultation obligations, and notice requirements managed.

Fair Work Commission representation: employer representation in unfair dismissal and general protections matters.

Restraint of trade: enforceable restraint and confidentiality provisions drafted and enforced.

Termination Without the Right Process Is Costly

Managing a termination or redundancy process incorrectly is one of the most common sources of legal risk for employers. We advise on the correct process for each situation and represent employers in Fair Work Commission proceedings when claims are made.

HR Advisors Right Alongside Our Lawyers

Employment matters often have both a legal and a people management dimension. Our employment lawyers work in close collaboration with Fortuna's HR advisory and investigation specialists, providing genuinely integrated support that addresses both dimensions of managing employment relationships.
