Matters Aaron Has Handled

Business Dispute

Restraint of Trade

Unfair Dismissal

Breach of Contract

Damages

Internal Dispute

Business Dispute

Acted for a high-income employee involved in a business dispute against the director of an advertising agency (the Respondent) regarding unpaid wages, redundancy, and discrimination. Negotiations continued for 3 months, and the matter was settled with the terms and conditions expressly particularised in a deed of settlement and release. The matter settled for over $170,000.

Restraint of Trade

Act for a law practice involved in an employment-related dispute regarding restraint of trade, confidential information, leave entitlements and adequate notice with a senior solicitor (former director and Respondent). The outgoing solicitor believed he was entitled to the client list with no restraint period. After months of negotiation, a settlement was reached between the parties that the employee would resign upon payment of any outstanding leave, the client list argument was dropped, and a new restraint was drafted for 6 months from the date of resignation.

Unfair Dismissal

Acted for an employee involved in allegations of harassment (as the Respondent), who was stood down from work for over 2 years following independent medical assessments declaring the worker unfit to work, contingent upon medical treatment and gradual return to the workplace, and was ultimately terminated from employment. The State was represented by the top-tier law practice. I prepared the application forms in the Fair Work Commission Jurisdiction and the Australian Human Rights Anti-Discrimination Commission (filed for both unfair dismissal and discrimination on the grounds of failure to provide reasonable adjustments. After prolonged negotiation, we reached the Conciliation Conference in FWC. The matter settled for an amount and a written reference was provided to the client (to obtain further work). The terms were expressly stated in a Deed of Settlement and Release.

Breach of Contract

Acted for a former employee involved in a restraint of trade clause following their resignation from a beauty company and set up another beauty company. I took the clients instructions and reviewed the letter of demand that was received. I provided advice to the client that the current restraint clause would not be accepted as valid, as it failed to meet any responsibility whatsoever and therefore must be void. I drafted a letter in response to the other side outlining the legal errors of the restraint clause whilst informing them that we would accept proceedings on our client’s behalf. The other side advised that their client was no longer pursuing the matter.

Damages

Acting for the defendant on allegations of unlicensed buildings resulting in damages for the plaintiff surpassing $25,000.00 in the Magistrate’s Court of Queensland. I worked autonomously and assisted counsel with drafting the defence, preparing, and filling all court documents, and completing multiple appearances. I negotiated an out-of-court settlement with the other side who filed a notice of discontinuance with the QBCC fines to be settled separately.

Internal Dispute

Acted for an employer (sophisticated client) involved in an internal dispute with a former employee. The matter had no escalated to proceedings. After taking the client’s instructions I drafted and reviewed the unusual employment contract terms, provided advice to the sophisticated client, and advised to write a letter in response enclosing an offer to settle which involved a written reference and payout of annual leave (which is an entitlement regardless). The letter also included a very small settlement sum. The result was that the former employee did not initiate proceedings, the grievance was elevated, and following this, the practice implemented uniform contracts for all staff which I drafted.
