At the softer edge, my experience includes advising and managing the complete lifecycle of employees, from recruitment to onboarding, probationary periods to disciplinary or poor work performance, from introducing or withdrawing benefits and incentives to the termination of employment.  This includes significant exposure to industry main agreements, trade unions and collective labour challenges and successes. 

During this time, as legal advisor and representative, it has been necessary for me to master the business, industry norms and standards, manufacturing and assembly processes, sales, franchising, marketing and distribution know-how, and financial systems of clients. 

I also have much exposure to commercial legal work – as external employment counsel, one is exposed to industry’ concerns and issues across the spectrum and all legal facets of the business – since employment, union activity, and many commercial activities of business have an employment impact flow through.

While acquiring immense expertise in employment law, industrial relations and real-life dispute resolution, I also accumulated enormous insights into the psyche of the employer and employee. This critical skill informed my ability to give situational advice and scenario plan the successful execution of workplace opportunities by partnering with clients.
