This candidate is an employment and workplace relations lawyer at Associate level with experience across both private practice and the APS. They advise on a broad range of employment, industrial relations and workplace matters, including unfair dismissal and general protection claims, enterprise agreement drafting and negotiations, and employment‑related compliance advice.

In their current role at a specialist employment law firm, they independently manage Fair Work Commission matters. Their experience includes advising employer clients across the employment lifecycle, drafting policies and contractual documentation, supporting workplace investigations, and leading enterprise agreement negotiations with unions and bargaining representatives. They also mentor junior lawyers and contribute to client training on workplace relations and WHS obligations.

Prior to moving into private practice, this candidate worked within the ATO’s Office of General Counsel, including in acting EL1 capacities. Their government experience spans complex employment, administrative, commercial and privacy matters, supporting enterprise agreement bargaining at a whole‑of‑agency level, managing litigation before the Fair Work Commission and Administrative Review Tribunal, and supervising junior lawyers. They are admitted in Victoria and bring strong experience working within structured legal environments, managing competing priorities and delivering pragmatic, legally sound advice.

They are now seeking an opportunity that will enable a return to Canberra.
