Michael helped us with a complex claim in the Australian Human Rights Commission. After a counselling session for talking rudely to her manager in the presence of a client, the employee, an Optometrist, resigned and lodged a sexual harassment claim seeking over $80,000 in compensation for a seemingly minor event 6 months prior which had left her ‘deeply offended, humiliated and intimidated’ – but able to work for another 6 months before raising it. After Michael researched the case law we responded disassembling the elements of her claim. Despite further legal threats from her Women’s Legal Service funded solicitor, we held our ground telling her we’d be happy to take it to Court. She walked away with nothing – and did not pursue Federal Court action. Michael is very professional and supportive through the whole ordeal. I highly recommend Hunter Employee Relations.
