Employment Advice

Minter Ellison advises on the full range of employment matters that arise from recruitment to termination, including contracts of employment, policies, employee disputes (including acting in a wide range of litigious matters – both during and after employment), restructuring and redundancies, return to work issues, performance management and misconduct issues, and executive issues (including corporate governance, remuneration and shareholder approval issues).

We continue to be at the forefront of the increase in litigation arising from employers seeking to enforce confidentiality and post-employment restraints and other obligations relating to employees and contractors.
