No Win, No Fee - What's the catch?
There's no catch
We represent clients on a no win, no fee basis because we are confident that we can produce positive results. We take a percentage of what we win for you so there is no chance of you receiving an unexpected big bill further on down the track. Sometimes we do paid work on an hourly basis. Often we can help an employer and their employee resolve their issues and the employee returns to work; in those situations we charge a set hourly rate for our time. We would always ask the employer to contribute to our costs in those situations and we would always advise you of our costs before you make your decision.
We are transparent with our costs from the start. Prior to commencing work we provide our clients with a copy of our terms which we take the time to explain.
Redundancy advice for employers
Employers need to exercise care when deciding whether or not to make a staff member redundant. Mistakes can be expensive. We perform work for employers on a paid basis to help guide them through the correct process. Our legal training and business experience makes us experts in this area. A few hours consulting with us early on, before you take any steps can save you thousands of dollars.
Retainers (for employers)
A number of employers have chosen to put us on a monthly retainer. They pay a small fee every month to be able to call us anytime for employment law advice tailored to their needs. If an employee does raise a personal grievance, we are there from the start, taking the pressure away from the employer. We aim to resolve the dispute as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Call us to discuss, you might be surprised at how little our retainers cost. It is just like having your very own employment law specialist on site. We see this service as a form of insurance - take steps to protect your business today.
