How we can help with your employment agreement

You are entitled to independent legal advice before you sign an Employment Agreement offered by someone you are thinking of working for. We have legally qualified lawyers with years of experience in looking over agreements and advising on what should go in, come out, or be changed in any document you are asked to sign.

Don’t take the chance that everything is “standard”. Agreements can restrict what you can and can’t do, not just while you are employed by someone but afterwards as well. We can identify the problem areas and help you with any negotiations you need.

How we can help with disputes

What you need is to understand your rights and have someone you trust to sort out your dispute for the least cost possible. Most employment disputes can be resolved through negotiation with the employer/the employer’s lawyer whether direct or through Mediation at the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment. Our team of legally qualified lawyers has achieved successful and cost effective results for the vast majority of our clients through direct negotiations and the Mediation process.

In the few cases where agreement cannot be reached we have the experience and expertise to run your case through the Employment Relations Authority or Employment Court, ensuring the case is handled as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. We will make sure that you know what to expect and what is happening every step of the way.
