We will work with you to understand the circumstances leading up to your dismissal and will make your application for unfair dismissal.

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington will also provide you with advice on your legal rights, represent you in negotiations with your employer, as well as legal proceedings if it proves necessary.

Our goal is to help you achieve a fair and just outcome, whether that is through negotiating a settlement with your employer or pursuing your claim through the courts or the Fair Work Commission.

If you have been dismissed from your job and you believe that the dismissal was unfair, contact us and we will help you pursue an unfair dismissal claim. There are short time frames for making an application for unfair dismissal so do not delay.

For employers

If you are an employer whose past employee has made a claim for unfair dismissal, we can represent you in the claim and help you navigate this often stressful experience.

Unfair dismissal claims can have a significant impact on your business, other employees, and your personal life. We will work closely with you to understand the specific circumstances leading up to the dismissal and determine if any defences are available.

Whiteley Ironside & Shillington can assist you with all aspects of an unfair dismissal claim, including providing advice on your legal obligations, representing you in negotiations with your employee, and representing you in legal proceedings if necessary.
