WWC Lawyers

WWC Lawyers is one of Australia’s best unfair dismissal law firms, fighting to overturn unfair and unlawful dismissals for employees all over Australia.

If you have a strong case, we are prepared to act on a no-win, no fee basis, meaning you only pay us if you get a successful result.

How it works

Step 1

Call us for a free, half an hour, no obligation consultation to speak with a real employment lawyer who will advise you on whether you have a case and what the likely outcomes will be.

Step 2

If your case is a strong one, we will offer to act for you on a no win, no fee basis. We will prepare your case, represent you in hearings and negotiate on your behalf. We will seek that you be reinstated to your job, or that your dismissal be overturned, and that you receive the maximum compensation possible.

Step 3

If you win (or are offered a settlement that you’re happy with) we send you our fixed fee invoice.

FAQ's

What can I expect to win?

Every matter is different, but most cases result in a settlement of between two and five months’ pay, with your dismissal being overturned and your name cleared. We will usually seek that your former employer pay you within 7 days of settlement, that they keep the matter confidential and that they agree not to disparage you in future.

How long does the process take?

In most cases, you will receive your settlement money and overturn your dismissal within six to eight weeks of engaging our firm.

What happens if you don’t win or get a settlement?

If we are unsuccessful in your claim, we will not charge you anything for the work we have done. Dismissal claims are unlikely to involve costs orders, so there is normally nothing to pay if you lose or decide to walk away.

How successful are WWC Lawyers?

Our firm achieves a successful judgment or settlement in more than 95% of the cases we take on.

Do you act for people all over Australia?

Yes, we have lawyers available in every Australian state, and the cases we run usually involve telephone hearings, so we act for clients all over Australia.

Do I have to talk to my former employer or go to court?

If our firm agrees to act for you, we will be the point of contact with your former employer. You will not have to speak to them or present your case yourself. We will represent you and speak on your behalf in the hearings regarding your case and will deal with all communications and negotiations with your former employer. Most cases are done on the phone, so it’s unlikely you will have to attend court in person.
