Yes. Working on both sides of the employment fence gives us unique insight into strategies. This ensures that we can effectively address and advocate for the interests of both employers and employees alike.

Prosper Law offers comprehensive legal support. We work with employers and workers to resolve employment disputes, advise on termination provisions, employment agreement reviews and other advice.

If you are an employer who needs help with contracts, compliance, or disputes, we can assist you. If you are an employee seeking advice on rights, grievances, or negotiations, we can also help you.

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 contract review lawyers will advise their clients to put the terms of an employment agreement in writing and to avoid relying only on implied terms.

Employers can contact our team by submitting an online enquiry form, phone or email. We'll review your enquiry and discuss your legal needs with you and prepare a fixed fee quote. If you approve our quote, we will send a costs agreement for your approval before beginning the work.

Tell us if you have any specific timing needs, and we will give priority to urgent employment issues.

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. Contact us for an employment agreement review.

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.
