Recognise the moment

This may be the right route if…

Start with the situation, not the legal label. We will confirm the correct scope after reviewing the basic record.

01

The team has outgrown informal arrangements

Contracts, policies, leave, performance and management decisions need a consistent legal foundation.

02

A difficult decision is approaching

You are considering discipline, redundancy, termination or a change to employment terms.

03

A dispute has already started

A demand, complaint, investigation or court claim requires a documented response strategy.

A visible working relationship

Representative engagement

A performance issue is becoming a termination decision

Situation
Management is frustrated, but expectations, warnings and the employee’s response are not consistently documented.
Legal route
Pause the outcome, reconstruct the record and follow an appropriate performance or disciplinary process.
Safeguard
A genuine concern still needs a fair and provable process.

Before you instruct

Practical questions.

Clear answers help you decide whether to share documents, book advice or continue researching.

01Can you review our employment contracts and policies?

Yes. We scope the review by workforce, document set and the operational risks you need the documents to address.

02Should we obtain advice before terminating an employee?

Early advice is usually safer because the process, evidence and communication can matter as much as the underlying reason.

03Do you act for employees as well as employers?

Yes, subject to conflicts and the merits and scope of the matter.

04Can you assist with an urgent demand or court deadline?

Yes, where capacity and conflict checks allow. Send the document and deadline immediately so urgency can be assessed.

Choose the level of commitment

Move from uncertainty to a scoped next step.
