Szekely & Associates Pty Limited is a firm in which one of the strengths is Employment Law and Industrial Relations. We adopt a pro-active and lateral approach to problem-solving in this area for clients whether we act for Employer or Employee or Contractor or Principal.

Our philosophy is to find a practical solution for the benefit of the client where ideally, the result is a "win-win" situation because the best results for clients are those where both parties are happy with the results or the parties can at least live with the result and "move on". As part of that process, it is important for clients to know that in resolving a dispute, in the event that they have to deal with the other party to the dispute on another occasion, they will have resolved the dispute on as amicable a basis as possible. Of course there are circumstances where a falling-out occurs and the client does not need or wish to have further contact with the other party and that sometimes changes the dynamics of resolution.

We Specialise in:

• Emplayment Law & Industrial Relations
