Employment Lawyers

At Walsh Legal Group, we are employment lawyers who believe legal advice should be more than just technically correct, it should be commercially sound, genuinely practical, and tailored to the real world in which your business operates.

Our employment law firm was created to bridge the gap between black-letter law and real business decision-making. We work closely with business owners, senior managers, and professional advisors to provide trusted legal guidance and hands-on support to resolve employment law issues.

Whether you’re navigating complex workplace disputes and Fair Work claims, managing performance, contemplating sacking an employee, conducting a consultation process for a proposed redundancy, or restructuring your business for growth and succession, our approach is always strategic, personable, and results-driven. 

Walsh Legal Group is a national employment law firm working with Clients all over Australia, and we’re committed to making quality legal services accessible, responsive, and genuinely collaborative.

Let’s get to work – together.

"We engaged Margherite for an employment matter for our small business. She was very approachable, took her time to explain the law in a very simplistic way and answered all the questions we had. She clearly explained all of the available options and then worked with us to get the solution we were after. Highly recommend her services!"

"I have used Margherite personally a few times to get advice on various employment law solutions for my clients. She is always very helpful, but more importantly very practical in the advice offered. I recently had a situation with a client that was out of my scope and I referred him to Margherite. He was very grateful & sent me a message thanking me for the referral and saying how happy he was with her service. Highly recommend Walsh Legal Group for any of your employment law requirements."
