Workplace Services 'We unravel the tangled issues
that can make or break employers - creating clarity from complexity.' The complete team The Maddocks Workplace Services Group is a large and successful employment law team in Australia. With 4 partners, (including a dedicated Immigration team leader), 2 special counsel, 3 senior associates and 11 lawyers, we have the depth and breadth of experience to service the HR and employment law needs of businesses, corporations and all three tiers of government. Our partners and senior lawyers have strong experience across all areas of employment law including: industrial relations, workplace agreements, termination of employment, employment contracts, anti-discrimination and occupational health and safety. We have a dedicated Immigration team within our group, so that we can provide a "whole of life" service, from assisting in the sourcing of and gaining entry to Australia for skilled workers, through their engagement to the termination of their employment if that becomes necessary. Our broad and deep experience is teamed with the Maddocks hallmark of unpretentious, personalised and accessible service. We know our industry We are at the forefront of workplace issues, in particular working with the Work Choices legislation. We regularly present and write for industry on topical issues. Some of our team members sit on industry group panels and committees. Because of our dedicated industry involvement, we anticipate issues and develop strategies for managing risk well before they become a concern for our clients. We add value to our clients by being pro-active in the advice we give. We understand government, we also understand corporates Our credentials in government are exceptional. For example, we are a leading supplier of legal services in employment law in the State of Victoria and we advise the majority of Victoria's local governments. In New South Wales, our work for the Department of Health reflects our growing profile in that state. Our leadership in this area is demonstrated through the high profile and sensitive work we carry out for government clients. But we are much more than just government focussed. The unique strength of our team is built on a mix of public sector knowledge coupled with a strong understanding of the commercial imperatives that drive the private sector. Our experience working with the private sector is the fastest-growing component of our Workplace Services practice in Victoria. We ensure that our work is always directed towards helping our clients achieve their business objectives. We know that a workplace that uses best practice in managing its people is a productive, competitive workplace and an employer of choice. We have helped many small to medium enterprises and emerging businesses to achieve just that. Through the provision of a virtual helpdesk, we have helped clients, including "household name" major corporates and all levels of government, manage not only legal compliance and risk management issues, but have assisted them to develop strategies and blueprints for achieving best practice. Our Approach We recognise that prevention and resolution of issues demands more than just a legal perspective. It means:
