You've been sacked — and it doesn't feel right.
Before you sign anything or spend thousands on a lawyer, get a private, honest read on where you actually stand — from someone who knows how these play out.

Before you sign anything or spend thousands on a lawyer, get a private, honest read on where you actually stand — from someone who knows how these play out.
In the days after being let go, you're angry, rattled, and Googling "unfair dismissal" at midnight — and every result is either a law firm's ad or a forum thread that doesn't fit your situation.
You don't yet know if you actually have a case, whether the clock is ticking (in Australia it is — 21 days to lodge), or whether it's even worth the fight.
A private hour with an employment lawyer or workplace-relations specialist gives you a straight read on where you stand and what to do first — before you sign a deed, miss a deadline, or spend thousands to find out.

What to do before you sign anything
Real, relevant professional experience — not a generic coach pitch.
Yes — in Australia you generally have just 21 days from dismissal to lodge an unfair-dismissal claim with the Fair Work Commission. That's exactly why a fast, straight conversation matters before the window closes.
It's general information and an experienced read on your situation — not formal legal advice. If you have a real case, you'll leave knowing that, and knowing whether it's worth engaging a lawyer.
Not before you understand what you might be giving up. A specialist who works with these deals every day can tell you what's standard, what's not, and what's worth pushing back on — often worth far more than the session.
You can — but employment lawyers bill $400+ an hour, and many people don't yet know if they have a case worth that. This is the honest first read that tells you whether to spend the money at all.
