As an employer, it's crucial to have expert employment contract advice. This step ensures the agreements are both legally sound and enforceable. Our review can uncover potential issues, such as unlawful or non-binding clauses. This can help you avoid future disputes and liabilities.
If you're an employee and have received a contract, you should hire an experienced employment lawyer. Our team can review your employment contract. We will confirm if a Modern Award or Enterprise Agreement applies to you. We will also check whether your employment agreement complies with the Fair Work Act 2009.

As we review these contracts frequently, we understand the requirements and the key points in these agreements. Prosper Law's legal experience, support and excellent customer service means our clients get the best advice.
We also provide advice to independent contractors.
A Modern Award or Enterprise Agreement may cover some senior and executive roles. Employers commonly draft comprehensive long-form employment contracts tailored specifically for executive employees in these roles.
Most senior appointments do not have access to unfair dismissal remedies. This means that the written terms are particularly important. Prosper Law can review the agreement before signing terms that could limit your rights if you lose your job.
We create contracts that are robust, equitable, and reflect the responsibilities and expectations for senior roles. This ensures transparency, minimises legal risks, and promotes a mutually beneficial working relationship.
Our fixed-fee legal services mean that you know exactly how much you are paying from the start. With Prosper Law, there are no surprises with your employment legal fees.

We advised a senior executive regarding a variation to their employment agreement. This employment contract review highlighted concerns regarding a non-compete clause. The clause was likely to be enforceable.
This meant that the executive would potentially need to be unemployed, without pay, if they left their employment. This led to negotiations around compensation in return for the employee complying with clause.
Our employment contract review services frequently highlight issues regarding Modern Awards. Many employers do not appreciate how Modern Awards interact with a contract of employment.
Our employment lawyers work with clients to ensure employment terms and conditions are compliant. We assess the requirements of the role and the relevant Award against the contract.
We work with employees to raise awareness of the National Employment Standards (NES). Our contract review services highlight the notice period and employee and employer obligations.
We have also assisted employees to negotiate terms that are unfair or unreasonable.

Having a written employment contract prepared by an employment contract lawyer is important. A legally binding employment contract is easier to enforce if it is in writing. It also means each party has a clear reference of their obligations and avoids confusion.
Relying on implied terms can be difficult to evidence. Implied terms can also create confusion and lead to disputes in an employment relationship.
Experienced employment lawyers will advise their clients to put the terms of an employment agreement in writing and to avoid relying only on implied terms.

While we can draft anything you like into an employment contract, some terms you request could go against legal requirements.
Many employment contracts contain terms that are un-enforceable or may even be misleading and deceptive. For example, under the Competition and Consumer Act, it is unlawful for employers to make false representations to candidates.
We must carefully draft the terms of the contract to ensure they are enforceable, compliant, accurate and fair.
People often use Common Law contracts in Australia. Employers use them as a basis for the employment relationship, which can include written and unwritten terms.
A Common Law employment contract allows workers and companies to negotiate contract terms, providing flexibility for both parties.
While Common Law contracts provide flexibility, they must still comply with the minimum employment standards. The Fair Work Act 2009 sets these out, including minimum wage, maximum working hours, and leave entitlements.
An employment contract lawyer can provide further advice about the terms of a Common Law contract.
An employer generally owns the intellectual property created during the employment relationship. A contract will often expressly state this if this is the case.
This means if an employee creates something for work, the employer owns the copyright. This only applies if the employment agreement states it. Copyright is, however, only one form of intellectual property.
Our contract reviews can provide advice on IP ownership and how to use IP during employment.
Insubordination in the workplace can disrupt operations and undermine authority, making it a serious issue for employers. However, terminating an employee for insubordination in Australia requires careful adherence to legal
