Raising a timely and adequate personal grievance is a crucial step in protecting your rights under the Employment Relations Act 2000.

Mediation and Dispute Resolution

Our services include conflict resolution strategies to handle disputes effectively.

Mediation is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to resolve employment disputes. Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment (MBIE) provides free access to mediation services for employment matters on voluntary basis.

Many employers prefer to settle matters at this stage as the confidentiality saves their reputation, especially in cases concerning workplace bullying, breach of good faith, unfair actions and procedural failures.

We expertly represent you at mediation, putting forward your perspective on events, explaining the reasons behind the personal grievance, supporting you through negotiations and advising you on the development of matters as we go, with the aim of resolving the dispute in a fair, efficient and amicable manner.

Our goal is to achieve fair, practical solutions that work for you.
