Employment Law

We live and breathe employment law.

Australia has some of the most complex laws around employment, and that complexity makes it a minefield for employees and employers alike.

We represent our clients single-mindedly to get the best possible outcome — which is exactly why you want us on your side, whichever side of the table you're sitting on.

Get started

Are you an employee or an employer?

We act on both sides of the table. Tell us which one you are, and we'll take you straight to the advice and next steps that apply to you.

Our approach

Why we're different

We have vast experience acting for both individuals and businesses across every industry. A close relationship with our clients means we get to the detail that matters — handling your matter with confidentiality and expertise, from specific advice through to preparing court documents and representing you at every stage.

And employment law doesn't have to be only about reactive problems. We also help individuals and businesses set up the right structure from the start, and spot potential risks before they become disputes.

We're lawyers, not consultants

We're not consultants, HR reps, or any other title our competitors adopt because they can't legally call themselves lawyers. When you need real legal representation, that difference matters.

We understand you first

We understand litigation, but more importantly, we understand you and your issues first — which is why we give you the exact solution your matter needs, not a generic playbook.

Your time is valuable

We know your time is valuable, so we won't waste it. At Gorval + Partners, you deal with the people guiding, advising and representing you from day dot — not a rotating cast of juniors.

Let's chat

Employee or employer — let's talk it through.

Every enquiry is strictly confidential, and your first consultation is free. Call us, or leave a message and we'll be in touch.
