Human Resources

Employment law is one of the most rapidly developing areas of law. All organisations responsible for the employment of others should ensure that they are abreast of such developments and we are positioned to provide such guidance and advice.

In respect of all issues arising from the employment sphere, from recruitment, training, appraisals, grievance and disciplinary procedures and hearings, dismissals and redundancy, Swinburne Maddison can advise on issues arising within the Human Resources sector of your organisation.

Through the provision of proactive business advice we aim to reduce your organisation’s exposure to potential claims and disputes and assist you in building a strong working relationship with your staff. Simple steps that can be taken are, for example, putting in place procedures to ensure Contracts of Employment, Staff Handbooks and Internal Policies are regularly updated. We are able to assist fully in this regard.

Even if all documents and procedures are in place, we are able to review them to ensure they comply with all statutory requirements and meet your business needs. 

By working closely with other departments in the firm, the employment team can advise fully on issues associated with other corporate matters including mergers and acquisitions, business sales and the employment implications that arise as a result.
