How Can Our Employment Lawyers Help?
Kells focuses on getting claims resolved with the least impact on our clients as possible. Keeping clients out of court and resolving disputes in the least adversarial and mutually advantageous way is our priority.
To achieve this, our employment lawyers have experience in a range of mediation skills as well as access to external mediation facilities and legal and non-legal specialists.
On those occasions where litigation through the courts is the most effective process for achieving resolution and compensation, Kells’ lawyers work with our clients to manage the conflict most effectively, at all times ensuring clients are kept up-to-date with progress and are fully informed.
The employment lawyers at Kells take on industrial, occupational health and all other employment-related cases. Contact any of our offices in Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Dapto, Thirroul and Sydney to make an appointment with one of our employment lawyers.
Our employment lawyers in Wollongong and Sydney are able to provide an extensive range of services, including:
- Representation and advocacy before the Fair Work Commission and the Industrial Relations Commission of NSW
- Compliance of policy training and safety documents
