PRACTICAL SUPPORT WHEN IT MATTERS

Clear and fair employment relations advice

Since 2014, Mitchell King Employment Relations Consultancy has provided expert advice, assistance, and representation for both businesses and employees.

Workplace problems can be stressful, time-consuming and expensive for everyone involved. Fortunately, many employment issues can be resolved early and informally, avoiding unnecessary escalation.

We take a common-sense, client-focused approach to problem resolution that promotes fairness and works toward practical outcomes.

GETTING STARTED

Here’s how it works

  1. Talk it through

    Get in touch for a free, no-obligation conversation. You can explain what’s happening and ask questions in a confidential setting.

  2. Understand your options

    You’ll receive clear, practical guidance on where you stand and what your next steps could look like, including whether the issue can be resolved early and informally.

  3. Support if needed

    If further help is required, advice, assistance, or representation can be provided as appropriate, with a focus on fair process and practical outcomes.

Kind Words

  • “A friend of mine gave me Darren’s name to handle my employment case. I was going through a very stressful time, but Darren was patient, even when I was at my worst emotionally. The problem ended up getting sorted and I was able to move on. Thanks Darren.”

  • “I have had to use Darren’s services more than once over the years. The first was as a manager where I needed advice on a curly issue with a staff member. A few years down the track while working in a different business, I needed help personally with my own problem. Both times, I found Darren could explain things to me clearly, getting to know the problem and cutting through the dross. This is an approach I appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Darren’s services.”
