WestmoreJacobs provides legal advice to a broad range of industries. Here are some of the main ones:

Care Industries

WestmoreJacobs provide expert employment law advice and support to employers in the care industries. This includes childcare, disability care, aged care and social and community services.

Providing advice in these industries requires a nuanced approach, in which several competing factors must be considered and finely balanced. In doing so, WestmoreJacobs aims to provide solution-focused outcomes in the face of challenging and factually complex employment matters.

Manufacturing & Engineering

Now, more than ever, employers in the manufacturing and engineering industries need to take a strategic approach to their workplace relation issues.

This can include restructuring, looking at ways to reduce the likelihood of industrial action, and investigating the efficiency of shift rosters.

We seek to get to know your business and what it’s trying to achieve. This helps us propose legal solutions which suit.

Professional Services

WestmoreJacobs has assisted numerous professional service firms to achieve pragmatic, sensible and solution-focused employment law outcomes. This allows our clients to move forward and shift their attention to what they do best, rather than focusing on workplace relations issues that never seem to improve.

Our clients include other law firms, engineering firms, accountancy practices and IT consulting firms.

Building & Construction

Melbourne’s building and construction industry is unique. That’s why industrial relations risk should be carefully assessed and managed.

We believe you can’t prevent all industrial problems from happening. But you can certainly take steps to reduce the likelihood of these problems arising in the first place.

We work closely with employers in the building and construction industry to provide proactive and forward thinking advice to help employers to manage their risks.
