• Successfully defending a number of employers in relation to claims brought under the new 'adverse action' provisions;
• Advising on the IR and OSH strategy for the construction and operations of a new copper mine in the Mid-West;
• Conducting numerous sensitive workplace investigations;
• Helping to resolve a number of long-running and complex ill or injured employee cases;
• Successfully applying to vary a modern award;
• Advising in relation to Australia's first 'low paid bargaining' application; and
• Advising construction companies on issues related to IR strategy and unlawful industrial action.
