OUR TEAM
Our team is made up of smart, kind and friendly people who are passionate about their work
The work we do is interesting, challenging and professionally fulfilling. It requires a unique mix of technical and people skills.
Our team is always learning and seeking ways to improve what we do. We also love to share knowledge with each other and other investigators.
We are always looking for like-minded brilliant legal professionals who share our passion for employment law and impartial workplace investigations. But importantly, also have a heart for people.

- providing peer support on all matters
- pairing team members with dedicated mentors to guide their growth
- offering a mix of work opportunities beyond investigations, including reviews, investigations advisory and training
- encouraging professional development
- holding fortnightly national full-team meetings and regular smaller team meetings
- celebrating individual career and personal milestones
PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
We love seeing our team grow and develop, professionally and personally
We dedicate 10 per cent of our time and budget to learning and improvement.
We do this by supporting and funding our team’s attendance at:
- training opportunities
- national and international conferences
- networking events
- activities that support personal growth and interests outside work
Each year we also bring our 20+ investigators together for an annual team dinner and conference. It’s a great chance to bond, learn and grow together.
Our firm also invests in technology and AI to improve the way we work and to stay at the forefront of change.
‘The nature of our work
confirmed, early on, the
type of culture we wanted
to foster within our own
firm — one based on shared
values of integrity,
impartiality, respect,
transparency and empathy.’
