Our Union Experience

I am proud to lead the Victorian industrial and employment law department here at Slater and Gordon. I have practised law for more than 20 years and also worked inside the Electrical Trades Union for 15 years. As a result, I'm familiar with all of the challenges that unions and their members face.

I recently worked on the Carlton & United Breweries dispute, including in the tense and technical settlement. It was a great success, with all sacked employees getting their jobs back on the same terms and conditions and with enhanced job security.

I'm proud to share my experience, knowledge, accessibility and commitment with my clients and most importantly, ensure they know I genuinely care about them and their situation.
