Employment Law

At Colquhoun Murphy, our comprehensive approach to employment law ensures that both employers and employees receive tailored and practical advice for navigating complex legal issues. With a longstanding presence in the Australian Capital Territory, we have cultivated a profound understanding of public sector employment matters, covering areas such as security clearances, mandatory health assessments, and the intricacies of the APS Code of Conduct. Our expertise also spans workers' compensation, discrimination, harassment, unfair dismissal, and adverse action, providing robust legal support in these critical areas. For private sector clients, we adeptly guide employers in drafting employment contracts and contractor agreements, aligning with the dynamic requirements of the Fair Work Act and other legislative frameworks. Our services extend to resolving disputes in various forums, including the Fair Work Commission and the Human Rights Commission, covering scenarios like contract breaches and unfair dismissals. Meanwhile, we advocate for employees on matters such as contractual disputes, workplace misconduct, harassment, and injury compensation claims, ensuring their rights are upheld across all stages of employment.

Litigation & Disputes

Colquhoun Murphy's seasoned legal team is well-versed in navigating the intricacies of litigation across multiple jurisdictions, notably within the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and at the Federal level. The firm is adept at handling complex legal disputes for a diverse client base, encompassing individuals, corporations, and not-for-profit organisations. Understanding the pressures and challenges that litigation can impose, Colquhoun Murphy is committed to delivering strategic and cost-effective guidance, providing robust representation tailored to both prosecuting and defending claims. In addition to traditional litigation services, Colquhoun Murphy prioritises alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as a pragmatic approach to conflict management. The team skilfully facilitates mediation, conciliation, arbitration, and expert determination, aiming to resolve matters efficiently and amicably, thus sparing clients the expense and emotional burden of protracted court proceedings. This holistic approach ensures that client interests are safeguarded, promoting resolutions that align with their personal or corporate objectives.
