We primarily partner with businesses to provide proactive advice throughout the employment lifecycle. We help HR professionals, business owners, and in-house counsel resolve workplace issues with clarity, confidence, and commercial sense.
Whether you're dealing with a termination, responding to an unfair dismissal claim, or reviewing your workplace policies, we cut through the legal jargon and deliver practical legal advice you can act on.
We’re based in Sydney and act for clients in NSW and across the country — from small businesses to large corporates — who need employment law support they can trust.
Since the start of 2024, Burn Legal has partnered with the Fair Work Commission's Workplace Advice Service to support eligible employers & employees with their employment issues. For individual employees, we provide effective representation in dismissal claims, workplace disputes, and contract negotiations. Our experience acting for employers gives us a strategic edge when representing employees — we understand how businesses approach these disputes and use that insight to our clients’ advantage.
