HELP FOR EMPLOYEES“Got the axe??? Call Max - MAX LEGAL!!!” If you think you have been unfairly or unlawfully dismissed; or your rights may have been infringed; check it out now. You can lose valuable legal rights if you delay. Well go ahead. You can make an enquiry online now. Don't worry about the WorkChoices laws - no they have not been abolished yet - but we've got it covered anyway. There are other, often better, legal options for most clients. Another important point; if you are having serious troubles at work, don’t resign before getting proper legal advice (see "Do I really need legal advice?”). Many of our cases are settled by negotiation . . . without having to go to Court. However, if it becomes necessary, we have experience in all of the Courts and Tribunals that deal with employment issues, and we can therefore help you make the right choice. Cases we have won include unfair and unlawful dismissals; sexual harassment; gender discrimination; pregnancy discrimination; race discrimination; illness or injury discrimination; workplace bullying; and executive contract disputes. Our clients have been impressed with our quick response times, and our full understanding of complex, yet very sensitive employment problems. We receive many complimentary letters and comments about the quality legal service and support we provide for our clients. In many unfair / unlawful dismissal, wrongful dismissal, sexual harassment or discrimination cases, and in some negotiation matters, we offer full or partial “no win no charge” arrangements for employees that we represent. These arrangements are offered at our discretion, and you will appreciate that because we carry a substantial risk of not getting paid for our professional services, costs are necessarily higher than otherwise. Naturally this option is very popular, and several conditions necessarily apply. You will have a far better chance of obtaining a "no win no charge" arrangement if you apply online (Submit Enquiry page); come to us right from the start; we generally won't take a case over where somebody else has started it off, or where the case is a "late application." Strict time limits apply to many cases, so do not delay taking action. The “no win no charge” arrangement covers our professional services, and not "disbursements" (which are expenses we may have to pay to others on your behalf). So, we are in it together; if you lose your case, we don't get paid. In the majority of cases we handle, fees are deducted from settlement monies. "No win no charge” does not apply to situation where our clients simply want a legal opinion about their situation, or an assessment of their rights and likely outcomes of potential cases. However, we do offer a fixed fee advice service for these matters, which is very popular. If you want to test your eligibility for "no win no charge”; or make an enquiry about obtaining advice; you should apply online. After we get past the initial inquiry stage, fees will be discussed at the first interview, and in most cases we will come to an agreement with you, which will then be confirmed in writing. WORKPLACE BULLYINGWorkplace bullying is extremely damaging to individuals and to businesses. Victims are often not believed, or ridiculed when they complain. We understand and have identified many "workplace psychopaths." These individuals lurk in many workplaces, and cause enormous harm to their victims; management is usually the last to know. For victims, we offer support, counselling, analysis and options including intervention and departure strategies. You might call this "bully-busting."
