Piper Alderman appointed Mason Fettell as a Brisbane partner and brought in his four-member team to deepen its employment, workplace safety and industrial relations practice.
Queensland employers are facing heavier compliance demands from changing employment laws, payroll and super reforms, tighter psychosocial risk expectations and closer scrutiny of workplace conduct and workers’ compensation obligations.
The incoming team advises on disputes, workplace investigations, WHS incident response and prosecutions, enterprise bargaining, organisational change, terminations and management of ill and injured workers.
With Brisbane added, Piper Alderman’s employment relations practice now spans 5 cities, positioning the firm to serve Queensland clients needing local advice backed by national coverage across federal and state rules.
