Employment Law

Terms and conditions, a necessity to protect your business and your customers. We needed to develop new T&C's to reflect our current operations. In this past this has been complex, expensive and time consuming. Including difficult too understand legal jargon and language that is often included in T&C's. As we operate with transparency is was very important that our T&C's are clear and easy for our customers to understand and agree to. Right from the beginning Phil removed the complexity and jargon, resulting in brand new T&Cs which are customer friendly. He made the whole process easy, efficient and painless! Thank you Phil!

Wills, Trust & Probate

Kat could not have been more helpful, valuable, professional or friendly. I could not have asked for a better experience in going through my settlement agreement than the service I received from Kat and she was the reason we achieved an outcome far more beneficial to me than I expected. In our conversations Kat was very clear about the process, she did not rush me through any of my questions or decision-making and I genuinely felt like it was important to her that I got the best outcome possible. I would not hesitate at all to work with Kat again or to recommend her to anyone else who would need legal advice. Thank you, Kat!

Richard Reed handled all aspects of the sale of my sisters house recently. They were always available to clear up outstanding details.
their advice was clear and concise. Their costs were entirely reasonable. Everyones demeanour was to be kind and helpful. I would be happy to recommend them and will use them again.
