Support at the Employment Relations Authority
Present your case with an experienced legal professional
It can be daunting to present your case at the Employment Relations Authority (Authority). The process is formal and the stakes can be high. You deserve a legal professional in your corner who understands the process, and how to present your case clearly and confidently.
Since 2012 I have been representing clients at Authority investigations and mediations. I provide steady support from start to finish. I assess their claims, provide practical guidance and a strategy.
My support
Before filing at the Authority you need to know three things:
- How to frame the employment relationship problem as it relates to your case.
- The relevant law underpinning each employment relationship problem.
- Whether the facts of your case support the employment relationship problem being resolved in your favour.
I will assess your claim in light of the background of your employment relationship. Understanding who the other party is can make a big difference when it comes to achieving resolution.
I will also provide a strategy to help you reach your objectives. This may include not filing at the Authority if that will not help you reaching your goals.
You will know what your rights are and what your options are.
The process
An Authority investigation is a legal process. If the other side has lawyers, I will level the playing field.
I can assist with the following:
- Drafting your Statement of Problem/Statement in Reply.
- Assisting with witness statements.
- Compiling the evidence you need to support your case.
- Preparing legal arguments to present at the Authority.
- Representation at the Authority hearing.
You’ll always know what’s happening, why it matters, and what comes next.
