How we rank these firms
This ranking is based on real client feedback, not paid placement. We combine each firm's average client rating with the number of reviews it has received, so a firm with a single five-star review does not outrank an established practice with a long, consistent track record.
Ratings and review counts are sourced from public Google reviews and refreshed regularly. Because new reviews come in over time, the order of employment & workplace law firms can change as client feedback accumulates.
A high rating is a useful starting point, but it is not a substitute for your own research. We recommend contacting two or three firms, asking about their experience with matters like yours, and confirming fees before making a decision.
Employment & Workplace Law FAQs
How long do I have to lodge an unfair dismissal claim?
In most cases you have 21 days from the date your dismissal takes effect to lodge a claim with the Fair Work Commission. The deadline is strict, so it is important to act quickly and get advice early.
Do I have to accept a redundancy?
A genuine redundancy is a lawful reason for ending employment, but it must follow the correct process and pay the right entitlements. If the role is not genuinely redundant or consultation was skipped, you may have a claim. A lawyer can review your situation.
Can an employment lawyer help me negotiate an exit?
Yes. Lawyers regularly negotiate deeds of release and settlement terms covering pay, references and confidentiality, often resolving a dispute without the need for a formal claim.
How do I choose the right law firm in Australia?
Look for a firm with genuine experience in your specific type of matter, clear and upfront pricing, and strong client reviews. Most firms offer an initial consultation, which is a good chance to ask about their approach and likely costs.
Should I get a free initial consultation?
Many firms offer a free or low-cost first appointment. Use it to explain your situation, understand your options and get a sense of fees before committing. It is also a useful way to compare a few firms.
Are the firms on this directory verified?
Listings are compiled from publicly available information and, where available, show client ratings drawn from Google reviews. Always confirm a firm's current details and credentials directly before engaging them.
