Mediation & Drafting

The end result of effective advocacy is reaching the point where an agreeable outcome has been achieved and the terms can be reduced to writing. These terms are the very fabric of what has been agreed to between the applicant and respondent. They must be concise, easy to understand and most importantly protect the rights of the client.

The advocates at 4 Unfair Dismissal have been party to numerous agreements reached since the sweeping changes to the Fair Work Act of 2009 and are experts in ensuring the agreement reduced to paper is exactly what was specified by both parties. There are several key elements to an effective settlement agreement that ensure confidentiality and indemnity. They must be included in any agreement drafted. Further, the agreement must include exact timeframes for payment of agreed compensation and discontinuance notices.

The Terms

The important thing to remember about the settlement agreement is that it brings about the end of the relationship between the two parties. The agreement contains the terms on which the relationship is settled. It must restore the dignity of the client while offering certainty about the future and what can be spoken about regarding the employment relationship of the parties involved.

4 Unfair Dismissal will insist that the settlement agreement is either drafted by the Fair Work Commission or our staff to avoid our clients being presented with a lengthy worded document drafted by an adversary to protect the rights of the adversary. When our advocates are involved, you can be sure your rights will remain the paramount concern throughout the drafting process.
