o representing clients in a wide range of other employment-related matters (including administrative law matters, regulatory and compliance matters and discrimination proceedings) before courts, tribunals and the Fair Work Commission (including as solicitor advocate where appropriate) and in dealings with other parties, witnesses and counsel.
· have the opportunity to support community interests though pro bono work. For more information about our pro bono work, refer to our website.
