If you have been dismissed from employment or even made redundant, Baird Employment Advocates (BEA) offers services to employees who are seeking representation and assistance in matters before the Fair Work Commission (FWC) with regard to Unfair Dismissal or General Protections (Adverse Actions) applications.
BEA understands the process, and has successfully represented employers in many matters that have come before the FWC. We know how employers will defend themselves, what they will do, and how they will do it. BEA will know how to argue your case and get the best remedies for you that may include financial compensation and other important benefits for you that will assist you in pursuing a new career.
If unrepresented, you will be trying to argue your case against Senior Managers, Company Human Resource Managers and Company Lawyers. They will know the law, how to apply it, and how to try and justify what they have done.
The process of making allegations against an employer through an unfair dismissal application can be difficult if you don’t know the laws and sections of the Fair Work Act that may have been breached.
BEA is able to take all that stress away. The last thing you need after losing your job is to now try and argue that it may have been unfair in terms of an unlawful breach.
BEA will allow you to get on with your life and new career and handle all that for you.

If your case is not presented or argued properly, you may miss out on important benefit remedies that your ex-employer will not offer.
BEA manage the entire process, from gathering supporting evidence, application lodgement, preparing the written submissions, and representation on the day of the conciliation before the Fair Work Commission.
A first, no obligation interview will help determine the strength of your case and whether you qualify to make an unfair dismissal application. BEA will be able to determine what remedies may be available, and how to plan and organise your representation.
