Show Cause Letters

Anderson Legal can help you respond to a show cause notice

An employment lawyer can help you in responding effectively to a show cause letter. This law firm defends the rights, reputation, and legal interests of its clients by:

If you are considering whether or not you should get help in responding to a show cause letter, it is critical to understand what this firm does and how it may benefit you.

A response to a show cause letter is your opportunity to persuade your employer why you should not face disciplinary action or dismissal. However, it can also be an opportunity to negotiate with your employer about ending your contract on commercial terms that are acceptable to you and allow you to move forward more securely.

In assessing the allegations or purported findings in a show cause letter, it can be surprising how often employers and managers (even with the benefit of advisers) fail to afford procedural fairness, comply with their own policies and procedures, or take into account relevant information.

Anderson Legal assists executives, employees, and public sector workers across Australia in responding to show cause notices. It works with people who are often facing a situation that threatens their livelihood, professional reputation, and financial security.

You may have a number of options open to you in responding to a show cause letter. However, because the situation may be unfamiliar, involves short timeframes, and is generally highly stressful, people do not always appreciate their options or weigh them in a considered manner. If you think you may benefit from the advice and assistance of an experienced lawyer, contact Anderson Legal to discuss your options.

It is not uncommon to feel uncertainty, doubt, and stress upon receiving a letter asking you to ‘show cause’. In fact, it is normal, particularly for people who feel the situation is unfair, unjust, or unreasonable.

Some people think they will engage a lawyer ‘if the worst happens’. That is, they see a lawyer as someone who will ‘react’ to a bad outcome, rather than work to ‘prevent’ it. The truth is, it often becomes harder, not easier, to change the outcome the farther things are along the road. For that reason, people facing potential disciplinary action at work are always best advised to get legal advice as soon as possible. As it is with medicine, prevention is better than a cure.

Hiring a lawyer to help you can be easier than you think. Moreover, the earlier you engage a lawyer to help you, the more options you will have available in responding to a show cause letter.
