Workplace Disputes

Our Workplace Law Team provides expert legal support for workplace disputes, helping employers and employees across Waikato and New Zealand resolve conflict. Our lawyers are experienced in managing a wide range of workplace disputes, from personal grievances and disciplinary matters, performance management issues, to bullying, harassment, and contractual disagreements.

We are the leading law firm in New Zealand in advising employers and employees on the application of tikanga within employment spaces.  Our lawyers have represented clients in leading cases in this space and are regularly sought out to present on tikanga in employment law.

We know the impact that workplace disputes have on those involved and the wider team, disrupting productivity and morale.  When disputes arise – or are on the horizon – we can assist clients to manage them.  We assist with dispute resolution processes, including mediation, negotiations, and representation before the Employment Relations Authority or Employment Court. Our lawyers offer practical advice on managing grievances, disciplinary actions, redundancies, and performance issues, ensuring compliance with employment law and best practice standards.

We also support businesses in developing robust policies and procedures to prevent disputes and foster a positive workplace culture. For employees, we provide clear guidance on your rights and options, helping you navigate complex situations and achieve fair outcomes.

McCaw Lewis is committed to delivering tailored, strategic advice based on your unique aspirations and priorities.  We will always be up front about any risks or concerns we see to help you make decisions about how best to tackle any dispute.
