Employment is mission critical. Managing contracts, compliance, policy, performance and change is ever more complex and time consuming. Disputes can be costly, unexpected, emotionally charged and publicly sensitive.
At Gilbert + Tobin, we take ownership of your problems. We advise on the best commercial solutions for your situation, not just the legal generalities. Our starting point is the specific needs of your business and your people. We work with you to foresee the issues and plan ahead.
In a crisis, we’re there to help you to respond quickly and effectively. We’ve managed many clients through it - sidestepping the pitfalls to reach the best possible outcome in the most cost-effective way. We see court action as a last resort. We’re experienced in all forms of alternative resolution and, if litigation is unavoidable, you’re in the hands of leading practitioners.
We work with Australian and multinational companies, government bodies and other organisations, as well as senior executives.
Our services include: contracts; employment policies and procedures; workplace compliance; workplace agreements; employee performance issues; employment aspects of M&A transactions; workplace health and safety; and workplace investigations.
