Employment Lawyer

Employment matters move fast.

When the stakes involve money, reputation or the future of your business, you need a lawyer who understands both the law and the commercial reality behind it.

At Connected Legal + Commercial, we advise business owners, founders, executives and creative professionals on employment matters – from contracts and negotiations to disputes and exits.

Employment Law Advice for Business, Media and Creative Industries

Employment law isn't only about what goes wrong.

The right advice at the right moment – before you sign, before you hire, before you exit – can protect your business and your reputation for years to come.

We work with clients across media, creative, sports and business on:

  • Executive and CEO employment agreements

  • TV, film and sports industry employment contracts

  • Senior hire and contractor agreements

  • SME employment contracts and HR frameworks

  • Redundancy, termination and exit negotiations

  • Workplace disputes and Fair Work matters

  • Employment advice for founders and growing businesses

The CL+C Employment Experience

Employment matters are often urgent, always personal, and rarely straightforward.

We work quickly and clearly — giving you honest advice about your options before you commit to anything. Whether you're a business owner protecting your position or an executive navigating a complex exit, we'll help you understand what you're dealing with and what to do next.

No jargon. No unnecessary process. No surprises on the invoice.

Employment issues rarely announce themselves. It's worth a conversation when:

  • You're hiring a senior employee, contractor or executive

  • You're negotiating or reviewing an employment contract

  • You work in TV, film, sport or media and need industry-specific advice

  • You're facing a termination, redundancy or workplace dispute

  • A Fair Work claim has been made against your business

  • You're an executive navigating a performance process or exit

  • Your employment contracts haven't been reviewed in the last two years
