Employment Advice for Individuals & Employees

Whether you’re an employee requiring an employment contract review before you accept a role, a former employee seeking to understand your rights in the context of a dismissal, or facing other work-related concerns, our dedicated Workplace Relations and Employment Law team at Nevett Ford can help.

We regularly work with both employees and employers and understand the stress, uncertainty, and emotional-side of employment-related issues, in particular employment disputes.

Our advice takes into account the most recent legal developments and updates, ensuring that you receive guidance that is in line with the latest court decisions and government regulations. This means you can trust our recommendations to be current, well-informed, and accurately reflective of the present legal landscape.

Nevett Ford’s Employment lawyers are Melbourne-based and have knowledge and experience across all courts and tribunals. We also have strong mediation capabilities and referral networks, knowing that all courts have a process of referring cases to mediation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution before a final hearing or trial.

We are a multidisciplinary team and our advice on employment law matters often draws on other areas of law including commercial law, family law and migration law.

Our extensive knowledge and experience of how courts and tribunals work, ensures timelines are met, mediation occurs as soon as practicable, and as a client you are well informed of your obligations, risks and possible pathways forward every step of the way.

As always, any information you disclose to us will be treated sensitively and kept completely confidential. Our team prioritises empathy and works alongside you to develop a way forward in a compassionate and caring manner.

Many of our professionals have experience working with individuals who have suffered trauma, and are acutely aware of the prevalence and long-lasting effects trauma can have.
