MARNIE NICHOLS

BUSINESS OWNER

I worked with Mark Harley and his team at Boss on a recent sale of a business. It was my first business sale and I really didn't have a clue about the process or contracts.

Mark took me through the process  step-by-step and worked seamlessly with my accountant to make the sale as simple and stress-free as it could be. Mark was extra helpful when we had a few bumps in the road and patiently answered all my stupid questions... even when I asked the same question a few times. As well as being easy to work with, Mark was responsive, efficient, and always on time to meet deadlines and - most importantly - we closed the deal. I'm now launching two new businesses and Mark and Boss will be a permanent fixture on my "dream team" of advisers and I will gladly recommend him to anyone in need of  legal services. Thanks Mark and the Boss crew!

For Expertise In Industrial And Employment Law


    Industrial and Employment Lawyers Brisbane

    Brisbane employment law covers a wide range of workplace issues, so it is important to work with a Brisbane based law firm when dealing with disputes. Common problems that might arise include unfair termination of employment, harassment, wage theft, workers’ compensation claims and other actions. When you are dealing with serious workplace-related problems, you might need a qualified attorney on your side. This will prevent you from making the most common mistakes.

    Brisbane Employment Attorney, Workers’ Rights

    Employment law covers a wide variety of topics that affect the workplace. This includes the rights of workers, and representation can make a substantial difference in the outcome of the worker’s life. This will also have secondary effects on the worker’s family members, and this means that getting a fair and just outcome is the top priority. Our clients come to us for legal advice when dealing with difficult situations at the workplace. It is necessary to have representation when there is a dispute on the job.

    Disputes between employers and employees can be difficult to handle without the services of an experienced Brisbane employment lawyer. Employees are often at a disadvantage because workers tend to be less familiar with the relevant laws than their employers. The company might also have an advantage because they have the resources and connections to hire entire legal teams to represent their interests. Our services are critical for employees facing unjust working conditions and other employment related disputes.

    Industrial and Employment Lawyers Brisbane

    Brisbane lawyers address complex legal issues that affect the entire workplace. Our services are valuable because we perform a critical assessment of the situation. This is a superior method to other law firms that have a tendency to apply the same solution to every situation. We look carefully at the individual case in order to determine the course of action that has the highest chance of success. Business owners will often face situations that exceed the abilities of managers, owners or staff members. This is where the advice of qualified Brisbane solicitors can make a positive difference.

    Communication skills are incredibly important when dealing with employment law, workplace disputes and other legal issues.

    Brisbane, QDL Law

    Our services are designed to assist businesses of all sizes. This is why we are known as the premiere industrial law firm in Brisbane. Our clients look to industrial and employment lawyers Brisbane for effective solutions. The Brisbane workplace is a changing environment, and employment situations are affected by a variety of external and internal dynamics. This includes technological changes that affect Brisbane’s labor market, for example. Employee relationships also include certain classes of independent contractors, so it is critical to work with an experienced employment lawyer who knows the difference in the legal status of different types of workers.

    Employees enter into an agreement with the employer, but there are many laws that determine the scope of this relationship in advance. This means that either side could require the services of a qualified employment lawyer at any point in the employment contract. For example, one set of laws require the employer to follow certain guidelines during the process of hiring the employee. If these rules are breached during the interview, the employee might have standing to sue for discrimination.

    Employers also have the ability to expect minimum standards of performance from the employees. Failure to meet these standards might result in a termination of employment. Many incidents involving discipline or termination can be resolved by internal measures. Policy manuals are often in place to allow all parties involved to understand the applicable procedures. However, there are times when the employer might seek the employment lawyer’s advice before proceeding to terminate the employment relationship. This is necessary to avoid creating a situation where the employer breaks the law and becomes liable for damages.

    Industrial workplaces can be dangerous for workers, but it is inevitable that a mistake will eventually happen. Whenever there is a workplace injury, compensation can be awarded through the system. However, it is often necessary to obtain specific types of documentation about the injury before the monetary damages are awarded. This can include medical examinations as well as other documents that demonstrate what happened on the work site.
