On 1 January 2010, there were significant changes to Australia’s workplace relations laws that affect all employers and employees. We strive to keep up to date with the constant modifications to the workplace relations laws because employers and employees must be prepared for these changes.

mdp McDonald Partners has had extensive experience in drafting employment contracts in accordance the changing landscape of our workplace relations laws as well as meeting our client’s business objectives.

Critical to these contracts have been restraint of trade clauses and the enforcement of intellectual property rights in relation to inventions, developments, trade secrets and confidential information. 

We have advised clients across a range of different industries and are committed to understanding the workforce constraints in each industry.

We also advised on the employment law issues that arise upon the transmission of a business.

Whether you are an employer or employee negotiating the terms of employment, you need targeted advice from a commercial perspective. mdp McDonald Partners will provide you with accurate and timely support and advice
