Dealing with Civil Litigation and Employment Disputes to ensure your rights.

Civil Litigation & Employment Disputes

At Lopes Legal, we provide strong and strategic representation for individuals and businesses involved in civil disputes or employment-related issues. Whether you’re defending your rights or seeking to resolve a conflict, we offer practical solutions tailored to your needs. Below are the key areas we handle, with examples and explanations of how we can help:

Contract Disputes

We assist clients in disputes arising from breached or unclear contracts, whether related to employment, services, or business agreements. Our goal is to enforce your rights and secure a fair resolution through negotiation or litigation.

Unfair Dismissal

If you have been unfairly dismissed from your job, we help you navigate the Fair Work Commission process to seek reinstatement or compensation. This includes situations involving unfair treatment, lack of due process, or unlawful termination.

Workplace Discrimination

Discrimination in the workplace based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected attributes is unacceptable. We represent clients in filing claims and holding employers accountable for creating an inclusive and fair work environment.

 

Bullying and Harassment in the Workplace

Bullying and harassment can lead to significant mental health challenges. We help clients file claims against employers who fail to address these issues, ensuring accountability and securing compensation for the harm caused.

Debt Recovery

If someone owes you money or you are dealing with an unfair claim against you, we can assist in resolving debt disputes, from sending letters of demand to representing you in court.

Business Disputes

We provide advice and representation for small businesses and individuals involved in disputes, such as partnership breakdowns, shareholder disagreements, or breach of fiduciary duties.

Defamation

We represent clients who have been defamed, whether through social media, news outlets, or other channels. We also assist in defending defamation claims to protect free speech within the bounds of the law.

Breach of Employment Contract

If your employer has failed to meet the terms of your employment contract, such as unpaid wages or benefits, we advocate for your rights to secure proper compensation.

Whistleblower Claims

We support employees who have exposed misconduct or illegal activities within their workplace, ensuring their rights are protected under whistleblower laws.

Workplace Investigations

We provide legal guidance and representation during workplace investigations to ensure your rights are upheld and the process is fair and transparent.

Personal Liability Claims

If you are facing a personal liability claim, such as one involving negligence or financial misconduct, we help defend your case and mitigate potential impacts.

Landlord-Tenant Disputes

From lease disagreements to wrongful evictions, we help tenants and landlords resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings.
