We believe everyone should have access to legal representation to defend their rights under New Zealand employment law.

 We have Advocates available in Wellington who can help you take action if you can’t resolve your employment problems. Our experienced, qualified employment law specialists can often sort out your employment law problem very quickly.

Just like employment lawyers we are employment law experts. The only difference is that we are able to offer you our services on a contingency fee, which means we only charge you if we are successful.   

When is it No Win No Fee and When is it Hourly rate?

The exception to the no win no fee arrangement is where we are trying to save your job and there is unlikely to be a financial outcome, for example representing you at disciplinary meetings.

 Meet Sandy Our Wellington Employment Advocate:

How can we help you?

• Disadvantage to an employee due to the employment agreement not meeting legal requirements
