People are at the heart of almost every business, organisation, and profession. Employment, and in some cases professional membership, determine most people’s primary source of income. Consequently, poorly resolved employment disputes and adverse occupational regulation disputes can have a catastrophic effect on employers, employees, and regulated professions.
Whether you are an employer, or an employee involved in an employment-related dispute, or a professional subject to adverse occupational regulation, Law Force has the experience and know-how to assist you to resolve the dispute. Common areas we assist with include (but are not limited to):
Employment disputes are common and often rely on the legal meaning of the express or implied terms of the employment contract between the employer and the employee. Issues regularly litigated include whether a person is employee or contractor, whether the contract of employment was breached by the employee or employer, whether suspension or termination of an employee was lawful, and whether post-contractual obligations remain enforceable.

Many occupations are governed by an authority, board, panel, committee, or society which have the power to grant, suspend, or cancel professional memberships, receive complaints, investigate conduct, and make adverse findings against its members.
If a complaint is of a serious nature, or if an individual is not abiding by an appointed body’s decision, the regulator or appointed body may apply to the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT) to conduct further disciplinary proceedings, or to enforce their decision.
Conversely, an affected individual who disagrees with a decision made by an appointed body may be able to apply to QCAT for a review of the decision to overturn it.
