Senior Associate & Operations Manager
With over a decade of experience in employment law, I have worked closely with numerous employers to help them navigate complex legal requirements, minimize risks and liabilities, safeguard their business reputation, and drive growth and success in their operations. As a Senior Associate and Operations Manager within NB Employment Law, extensive expertise is brought to clients in Employment Law, Workers Compensation, and Litigation.
The focus is on guiding clients through a diverse range of employment law issues, including handling unfair dismissals, general protections, managing injured or ill employees, and addressing anti-discrimination and sexual harassment complaints and investigations. Support is also provided for disciplinary actions, drafting enterprise agreements and facilitating negotiations, and advising on union right of entry, as well as developing tailored employment policies, procedures, and contracts.
Prior experience includes representing employers in the chamber movement across Queensland while working at various law firms and serving with the Workers’ Compensation Regulator in Queensland. This background includes conducting Employment Law Sessions at Chamber Roadshows statewide and delivering targeted training for employers and their teams.
This wealth of experience ensures clients receive informed, practical, and strategic advice, equipping them to navigate the complexities of Employment and Industrial law with confidence. The approach emphasizes proactive and instructive guidance to help clients make informed decisions and mitigate risks effectively.
This is why we’re the lawyers for employers, delivering expert legal advice and representation in employment, workplace relations, and industrial relations matters.
