McArdle Legal emphasises Employment / Workplace Law. Few other firms can guarantee that the lawyer handling your matter is not just “dabbling” in this complex area. In addition, McArdle Legal, being a specialist firm, will not see your custom as a marketing opportunity for other services of the firm, which you have not sought.

Chris McArdle, Principal Lawyer, is one of approximately only forty lawyers accredited by the Law Society of New South Wales as a Specialist in Employment and Industrial Law. Chris has been in practice since 1988, and prior to entering the legal profession served for five years as a New South Wales Industrial Commissioner.

The rest of the team – Deirdre McEvoy, Victoria Hiley and Deborah Lum – not only specialise in this area but are also the authors of respected articles on the subject. For career details of our lawyers, see the “Our Team” section of the website.

Then, there is our record - We have achieved over the years the following milestones in this area of law :

• The largest ever award under the New South Wales Unfair Contracts Jurisdiction.
• The precedent setting judgment on the principle of “inherent requirements of the job” in the Anti-Discrimination jurisdiction for a disabled person
• The benchmark judgment in the Australian Industrial Relations Commission which established the use of the “Public Interest Test” in approving Australian Workplace Agreements which had failed the “No Disadvantage Test”
• We have prepared comprehensive protocols in advance of the incoming “WorkChoices Reforms” which will smooth the way for companies and individuals upon their implementation.
• “McArdle Legal has developed a set of requirements which meets the Driver Fatigue Regulations, due to commence in March, 2006, and affects the Transport Industry”.
