Here are
some examples of the types of scenarios that we can help with.
- I have
decided to establish my
own business carrying out contract work and need advice on legal
structures and my legal rights and obligations as a contractor.
- I have
left my employment and
wish to establish my own business in competition with a former
employer. There is a restraint provision in my employment agreement and
I need advice on its effect and enforceability.
- I have
been employed by a company
for several years and now they have told me that they want me to become
a contractor. Can they do that?
- I
contract exclusively for the
one customer and they don’t want me carrying out work for anyone else.
Does this affect what I am entitled to? Do they have to pay
superannuation even though I am a contractor?
- I have
been a contractor for a
company for several years and I know I get paid less than employees
doing the same thing. Do I have any claim for back pay and how can I
address this with the business owner?
- I have
started up my own business and want to set up a standard contract for
customers. What should it contain?
- My
business has been carrying out
work for some time for a large customer. The customer has now imposed a
condition on me which I am unhappy with. How do I take the matter up to
the customer as I do not wish to lose their business..
- My
business has a new customer
which has a standard form contract. I don’t fully understand everything
on the contract and need to know whether there are any hidden traps in
the agreement.
- I have
done a lot of work for a
business as a contractor. They have not paid the whole amount of my
invoice and are disputing certain items. What can I do about this?
