Better Place Australia recently had to navigate the resolution of a complex people issue that required expert legal strategy and advice in the workplace relations space. Better Place Australia engaged Law Squared’s Employment + Workplace Relations team to assist with the matter.
Executive Manager of Human Resources at Better Place Australia, David Turen had partnered with both Catherine and Andrew Brooks previously and decided to engage the pair again as he knew they were expert advisors in the field that could provide specialist support and guidance.

With the help of Law Squared’s Employment + Workplace Relations team, Better Place Australia was able to achieve the best possible result. Along the whole journey, Law Squared’s lawyers were able to explain and relay advice to Better Place Australia in a way that made sense. Better Place Australia were also a actively included throughout process with team members consulted every step of the way.
“What we really like about Law Squared and particularly the Employment + Workplace Relations team, is the fact that they are aligned with type of contemporary, forward thinking organisation that we pride ourselves to be.
A lot of law firms like to tell you what the risks are but they don’t actually tell you what you can do – that’s not the case at Law Squared. If we go to them with an issue, they always come back to us with advice on both understanding our obligations and how to go about solving the particular issue at hand.”
