Workplace Relations

New Corporate Partner MV Law

ClubsACT is pleased to announce a new relationship and new member service in conjunction with our Gold Partners MV Law. We are launching a new Industrial Relations Hotline and support opportunity for our members to be provided by Canberra’s Leading local law firm MV Law.

The system of regulation of employment and industrial relations in Australia is complex and constantly changing.  Having successful employment relationships—whether as an employer or employer—depends on knowing how to work within the system, and how to develop and maintain strong connections.
MV Law can help our members navigate the employment and industrial relations system with certainty and clarity, and enhance the relationships that are so pivotal to the success of the system. MV Law’s team of expert employment and industrial relations lawyers has more than 40 years’ combined employment and workplace relations law experience.
