If you are an employee and have been provided with a contract, it is important that you engage an experienced employment lawyer.
Our team can review your employment contract, confirm if a Modern Award or Enterprise Agreement applies to you and whether your employment agreement complies with the Fair Work Act 2009.
Salary and wages are a major source of income for many Australians. A contract review is an investment as it can ensure that you are aware of your rights and obligations for your biggest source of income.
If you are an Australian employer and you need a new employment contract template or just a refresh of your existing employment agreements, we provide a fixed-fee service.
It is important to ensure that all legal requirements are captured when drafting employment agreements. An employment contract lawyer can make sure that an existing employment contract or new agreement is compliant. Employers may wish to understand whether amendments can be made to reflect their business practices.
An employment contract lawyer is needed to provide expert employment law advice. Questions will often arise during the lifecycle of the employment relationship and we’re here to help every step of the way.
We advise independent contractors on their legal rights, including whether their employment has been correctly classified. Our employment contract lawyers also advise executive employees on breach of contract claims and differences between Modern Awards and employment contract terms.
Some senior and executive roles may be covered by a Modern Award or Enterprise Agreement. Often, executive employees are provided with a long form employment contract. It is important for executive agreements to be reviewed and negotiated by experienced employment lawyers.
Most senior appointments do not have access to unfair dismissal remedies. This means that the written terms are particularly important. Without a proper review from an expert employment lawyer, you could find yourself agreeing to terms that limit your rights if your employment is terminated.
Our fixed fee legal services mean that you will know exactly how much you are paying from the start. With Prosper Law, there are no surprises when it comes to legal fees.
We offer a free, 15-minute consultation. During this call, we will take the time to understand your legal matter. We will then provide you with a scope of work and a fixed-fee quote.

It’s important for contracts to be in writing and to be prepared by an employment contract lawyer. A legally binding employment contract is easier to enforce if it is in writing.

While we can write anything you like into an employment contract, there are some terms that may go against our advice.
Many employment contracts contain terms that are unenforceable 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.
Common Law contracts are often used in Australia. They are used as a basis for the employment relationship and can include written and unwritten terms.
A key feature of a Common Law employment contract includes that it can offer flexibility for workers and companies to negotiate contract terms.
While Common Law contracts provide flexibility, they must still comply with the minimum employment standards. These are set out in the Fair Work Act 2009 and include things such as minimum wage, maximum working hours, and leave entitlements.
An employment contract lawyer can provide further advice about the terms of a Common Law contract.
Generally, an employer will own the intellectual property that is created during the course of a worker’s employment. An employment contract will often expressly state this.
In addition, the Copyright Act 1988 states that if an employee creates work and that work is under the employer’s direction or control, the employer is the first owner of the copyright. Copyright is, however, only one form of intellectual property.
Employment contract reviews will outline who owns the IP and how it can be used.
