To solve a ‘legal problem’, many people think all they need is the ‘legal answer’.
If only it was that simple for many workplace problems…
Workplace issues are often tied up with other considerations that can’t be ignored – reputational risks, commercial realities, and opportunity costs.
This firm offers personalised strategies to resolve workplace issues.
Brisbane Employment Lawyer

The areas of law Anderson Legal handles are deliberately narrow and deep, ensuring this firm can handle all cases to the highest standards. The firm is transparent about costs and maintains the highest standards of ethical conduct.

Staff Recruitment
The legal risks for employers and businesses during recruitment processes are not always fully considered – until an issue emerges.
Risks are present at all stages of recruiting staff, from the nature of the role itself to advertising, interviewing, selecting, and agreeing on an employment contract.
Employment Contracts
Employment relationships operate in the context of numerous laws that impact employment contracts and agreements. Understanding what is and is not stated in a contract – and why – is critical for employers.
It is common for contracts to be silent about various issues, which may still be implied in some way.
Policies & Procedures
No matter how big or small a business or organisation, policies and procedures are crucial to ensure compliance with laws, as well as to give guidance to staff about how to handle day-to-day tasks.
One of the challenges employers can face is ensuring their policies and procedures are up to date, appropriate, and practical.
Management Action
The failure to properly implement performance management systems often often exposes employers to real risks and unfair accusations.
This firm assists employers to minimise risk when managing staff, as well as to respond to employee underperformance and other common employee-related issues in the workplace, such as illness and injury.
Disciplinary Processes
All workplaces should have proper processes to ensure that when disciplinary action is contemplated, systems or procedures are in place to manage legal, commercial and reputational risks.
Failure to follow proper processes can give rise to successful claims against employers. Learn more here about minimising such risks.
End of Employment
It is common for disputes to arise at the end of employment, such as concerning confidentiality obligations, breaches of restraint of trade clauses, unfair dismissal, and adverse action claims.
Given the commercial risks end of employment issues can have for a business, it is important to understand how to manage such issues.
Bullying Issues
Workers at all levels can be the subject of workplace bullying – as victims and perpetrators. Just as bullying can cause harm, false bullying allegations can unfairly ruin reputations and livelihoods.
Anybody facing a workplace bullying issue should get informed about their rights, responsibilities, and legal options.
Discrimination Issues
Failure to follow anti-discrimination laws in the workplace can lead to successful lawsuits against individuals and businesses.
When confronting a workplace discrimination issue, getting informed about the common problems with discrimination claims might be crucial to protecting your interests and avoiding unfair outcomes.
Facing Disciplinary Action
Even for somebody who knows they should be cleared, dealing with an allegation and potential disciplinary action can feel overwhelming. Getting early legal advice can be crucial to protecting your interests.
Employers who fail to follow the law when taking disciplinary action can give rise to successful claims.
Sexual Harassment Issues
Workplace sexual harassment can constitute serious misconduct and can result in summary dismissal and lead to compensation claims.
Workers at all levels can experience sexual harassment. Just as harassment can cause harm, false sexual harassment allegations can unfairly ruin reputations and livelihoods.
Unfair Dismissal
It is critical for anyone who thinks they have been unfairly dismissed to act quickly due to the strict time limitations that apply to such claims.
Bringing a claim against an employer can be daunting, which is why having an experienced unfair dismissal lawyer on your side can make all the difference.
Workplace Investigations
Workplace investigations can lead to all types of outcomes, including disciplinary action, regulatory intervention, and police referrals.
For many people, the potentially far-reaching effects of a workplace investigation can come as a shock, which underscores why early advice from an experienced employer lawyer can be critical.
