Legal services for the professional services industry

Even after immense economic uncertainty in recent years, drastic growth is still predicted for the Professional Services Industry over the next five years – and because most workplace issues arise unexpectedly, we know that having experts behind your business can make all the difference.

Our Professional Services team has over three decades of experience supporting businesses navigating the complexities of an always-evolving workplace relations landscape. We work closely with our clients to provide practical, strategic, and solutions-based advice about workplace issues throughout the employee lifecycle.

From workplace disputes and litigation, enterprise bargaining, statutory compliance, and independent contracting to restructuring and employment contracts and policies, Citation Legal has the full spectrum of workplace law services for businesses.

Building the infrastructure to support your workplace relations architecture

Competitiveness is a key element that cannot be overlooked when it comes to building and maintaining a successful business and its workplace relations architecture. With a wealth of experience and industry knowledge, our team can support your business by:

• Providing strategic advice on workplace relations governance and the appropriate form of engagement to meet internal and client objectives;
• Developing effective client relationships through good workforce and expectation management;
• Drafting effective recruitment sector restraint provisions to protect a business in a high-turnover industry;
• Developing industry-specific contracts and policies that cater for the existence of multiple parties;
• Training recruitment consultants and account managers in awards and complaint minimisation; and
• Defending employee claims and grievances, including unfair dismissal, bullying, harassment, and discrimination.

Because employment law in Australia is continuously changing and complex, we make it our mission to ensure our clients are well-informed of legislative change, enabling them to respond confidently and in a timely way to change – an invaluable feature of working alongside a team of lawyers who are all employment law experts.
