Here's How We Can Help You
Free consultation
Twenty minutes with a lawyer, not an intake form. You describe what happened. We tell you whether there is a claim, what it is likely worth and when it expires.
Written strategy
A plan with the steps, the deadlines and the cost on one page. Nothing is filed and no fee is charged until you have approved it.
Resolution
We run the negotiation and the conciliation, and the hearing if it gets that far. You hear from us every week whether or not there is news.
Trusted by our clients in Sydney
I was walked out on a Friday with no warning and no letter. They had the claim filed the next week and explained each step in words I could repeat to my partner. It settled in nine weeks.
Priya RamanWarehouse supervisor, Brindle Logistics 
Four years of overtime I was never paid for. They rebuilt the roster from the payslips I still had in a drawer and recovered the lot without me ever standing in a hearing room.
Tom VasilevRegistered nurse, Kentmere Health I did not want a fight, I wanted out on terms I could live with. They found the restraint clause buried in the deed and renegotiated it inside a fortnight.
Nadia OkaforAccount manager, Corvid Media They told me on the first call that my claim was weak, and why. No invoice for that call. When something else came up a year later they were the first number I rang.

Why you should pick The Work Place?
One lawyer, first call to last
You get a name and a direct line. We will not hand you between teams or ask you to tell the whole story again to somebody new six weeks in.
The cost is agreed before we start
You sign either a written scope with a fixed fee or a costs agreement that charges nothing unless the claim resolves. You never open an invoice you were not expecting.
We say so when a claim is weak
We tell roughly a third of the people who ring us that they do not have a case worth running. That call is free as well.
