Employment

The employment side of building a team here — agreements, workforce questions, and disputes when they arise.

The relationship, from the agreement to the end of it.

We advise employers on hiring, managing and ending employment in New Zealand, and we act for employees where a relationship has broken down.

Employment law here sets minimums that an agreement cannot go below, whatever both sides have signed. A good deal of what we are asked to fix began as an agreement written as though that were not the case.

Where a business hires from overseas, employment and immigration run together. We keep both in view, rather than solving one and creating a problem in the other.
