Workplace bullying

Kingsford Lawyers prides itself in maintaining a medium firm feel by treating each client with care and consideration.

Workplace Bullying and Harassment Lawyers

Workplace bullying occurs when individuals or a group repeatedly behave unreasonably towards an employee/group of employees, and that behaviour creates a risk to health and workplace safety.

Employees may face workplace discrimination or harassment because of their gender, sexual orientation, race or religion, disability, age, or marital status. Kingsford Lawyers understands just how hard it can be for people experiencing this type of behaviour and believe In Australia, one of the employee’s workplace rights is to work in an environment that is free from workplace bullying and harassment and is not limited to just employees, it can branch to clients, suppliers or anyone with a relationship to the company.

Workplace Bullying and Harassment Lawyers

Kingsford Lawyers help our clients to set in place practices to deal with workplace bullying:

  • Record-Keeping – keeping diary entries of every instance can be crucial for evidence should you need to bring a claim forward, ensure you note down:
  • When the incident occurs
  • Names of persons involved
  • Where it happened
  • What happened
  • Any witnesses to the incident
  • Seek advice – obtain legal advice about employers’ obligations under the relevant Occupational Health and Safety legislation or seek guidance and information from external government bodies or associations in your respective state or territory. However, they cannot provide legal advice
  • Making a formal or informal complaint – check your employment contract for correct complaint processes and ensure you follow them correctly; you need to ensure you address the bullying and harassment in the workplace or make a formal complaint and start the resolution process. If possible, you should try and resolve matters at an organisational level before seeking legal action
  • Legal action – if unable to resolve, seek legal advice and action promptly

Kingsford lawyers have been a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible”.

The Kingsford lawyers were not only able to successfully defend me out of bankruptcy, their calm empathetic demeanour, offered me emotional support when I needed it the most. They went back to basics and drew out the facts with the utmost intellect and precision.

My only regret is not appointing them sooner. Thank you for helping me rebuild my life - you’re in a league of your own Kingston Lawyers.

Rana Yaqub
I was considering the purchase of a property that falls outside normal conveyancing procedures.

Jasmina provided excellent, clear and lucid advice about the sales contract and the potential pitfalls, both now and into the future. I was most impressed with her professionalism and the time that she was prepared to explain the issues drawing on her previous experiences with similar contracts.

I would highly recommend Kingsford Lawyers to anyone who might be considering moving into a "Lifestyle" community
Bob Eden
I strongly agree with my brother that Kingsford Lawyers are the best, and well experienced in their field.

My brother recommended consulting with Madeleine; she presented my documents so well that I was granted my visa within 3 weeks. She has always been supportive and friendly.

You can give her your case and can trust her indiscriminately.
