Home / Personal Matters / Employment

At Lawpoint we help resolve matters at all stages of your employment journey. This can be before you accept a job, during your employment or in the case of a dispute with your employer or co-workers.

If you are an employee, it is wise to consult with a lawyer if you have any queries or concerns about your working conditions or contracts, so you can make an informed decision before you accept a job. At Lawpoint we can advise on employment contracts and related awards, independent contractor agreements, redundancy, and termination of employment.

If you are thinking of making a claim against your employer, they are likely represented by a specialist team of HR consultants and lawyers. You need lawyers in your corner that possess experience, expertise and skill. Lawpoint’s lawyers have obtained many successful outcomes for people who have suffered financial, physical, and psychological detriment because of their employment.

We have extensive experience in representing employees in the Fair Work Commission and other courts in relation to unfair dismissal, unlawful dismissal, workplace bullying, unpaid wages claims, discrimination and workers compensation.

Lawpoint will always work towards a resolution outside of Court. However, if this is unavoidable, we will effectively represent you in the various courts and tribunals to ensure that your rights are properly protected and that you receive the outcome that you are entitled to.

This is an excellent firm which consistently delivered quality and outstanding legal representation. Romeo's drive and determination for achieving the best results for his clients coupled with an attitude of compassion and empathy made a very difficult situation so much easier to bare. Would highly recommend.

I used Lawpoint for the purposes of conveyancing when selling my property. The team at Lawpoint were extremely professional and attended to any matters that arose with swift precision that left me with a high sense of confidence and trust. They were even courteous enough to attend to finalising my settlement while their office was closed during the Christmas and New Years break.I highly recommend Lawpoint for any conveyancing matters and have no doubt their quality of work would definitely extend to any other legal matters.

Selling our house of 18 years and trying to understand my entitlements, came with a lot of emotions, stress and uncertainty. The whole process could have been very overwhelming, but I am so grateful to have had Romeo El Daghl by my side throughout the whole process. He always came across a fair person, and always put my concerns to the front. With all settlements finalised smoothly, I am feeling grateful and can now move on with new ventures in my life. I honestly cannot fault one single thing with the whole legal process and would always return to Romeo and his team for any future dealings.

Since 2007 Romeo and his team have helped me with a personal injury matter, divorce settlement, property conveyancing, binding financial agreement (prenup) and my will. I would highly recommend Romeo for such matters due to his professionalism, practical approach and focus on achieving the best possible outcome at the lowest possible cost. His excellent negotiation skills ensured fair out-of-court settlements in the personal injury and divorce settlement matters. Also, Romeo and Rita are warm and friendly and a pleasure to have on my side, especially considering the stressful times when I needed help.

Helder Costa is an outstanding professional who goes above and beyond. Today a property was auctioned and sold for and on behalf of clients/vendors who reside overseas. To ensure the process ran smoothly and efficiently, Helder took it upon himself to be at the Auction and ensure the outcome was transparent and successful. Thank you Helder, your hardwork and commitment set you above the rest.

Romeo was recommended to me through word of mouth and he has been my lawyer for seven years. During this time he has always excelled in resolving any case thrown at him. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex legal language into laypersons terms. As a lawyer Romeo is the full package and you would be hard pressed to find someone as competent, determined, trustworthy and genuinely caring as him.Without exaggeration, I don’t know what would be of my business, companies, investments, family matters and emotional wellbeing without him. He is quite simply irreplaceable.
