Emma joined Fair Work Lawyers in early stages of the Covid chaos of 2020, and quickly proved herself to be a reliable, dependable and hard-working solicitor with a passion for industrial relations and employment matters.

With a background in both commercial legal practice and industry associations, Emma is client driven and focuses on achieving optimal outcomes for her clients. She helps a diverse range of clients in a vast array of industries including building and construction, social and disability services, architecture and professional practices, manufacturing, retail, tourism and hospitality.

Although experienced in wide range of matters, Emma’s particular focus is on industrial and employee relations. She relishes the opportunity to help clients navigate through the murky and ever-changing IR/ER landscape. She has excellent research skills and is able to identify, digest and make sense of even the most complex research tasks.

• Enterprise agreement negotiation, approval and interpretation;

• Termination and disciplinary advice, including unfair dismissal and general protections advice/representation;
• Redundancy advice;
• Transfer of business advice;
• Contract drafting and interpretation;
• Policy drafting and interpretation;
