Your specialist employment law firm
We partner with businesses and organisations to navigate workplace challenges in a wide range of services and industries.
Employment and Industrial Relations
We support employers with restructuring and redundancy issues, disciplinary and performance concerns, bullying and harassment allegations, discrimination claims, privacy issues, protecting confidential information, and dealing with post-employment obligations such as restraints of trade.
We place a strong emphasis on working with our clients to anticipate and head off any potential employment law problems.
Because parties to an employment dispute may have an ongoing relationship, we emphasise practical dispute resolution.
Where alternate forms of dispute resolution fail, we have the skills and experience to resolve the matter through litigation, to the highest standard and to the highest level. We regularly appear as counsel in leading employment law cases.
Health and Safety
Employment law is inextricably linked to health and safety.
Clients can be assured of our depth of knowledge. The KTC team has appeared as counsel in a wide range of health and safety cases, including leading workplace stress, constructive dismissal, and drug and alcohol testing cases.
Immigration
The KTC team has significant experience in supporting employers to secure access to global talent critical to their success.
We regularly assist employers needing visas for key employees (including temporary work and residence visas) or seeking accredited employer status.
We are also able to assist skilled migrants, investors and entrepreneurs who require residence, investment, visitor or student visas for themselves and members of their family.
