Dispute Resolution & Representation:
Fair & Effective Resolution When Issues Arise
Employment disputes don't need to escalate. Early intervention, honest dialogue, and skilled mediation can often resolve conflicts before employment relationships break down. When a situation does escalated, you need clear expert guidance and representation to achieve the best outcome and act with integrity.
At Sharp Advocacy, we guide you through every stage of dispute resolution—from preventing escalation with early mediation to representing your interests in formal proceedings. Whether it's a personal grievance, formal mediation, or an Employment Relations Authority hearing, our approach is always committed to fair process and a good faith resolution.
Early Intervention & Mediation Support
A skilled mediator and clear communication can often resolve what seems like an intractable conflict. We help you explore resolution early, often preventing costly and stressful formal proceedings.
