At Sunshine Coast Council we value the prompt, accurate and well researched advice provided by the team at Aitken Legal.

Aitken Legal has been providing legal services to the Sunshine Coast Council for almost 5 years. As a specialist employment law firm, the legal services provided have been in relation to a broad cross section of employment and industrial relations matters, including through the amalgamation process. Over that time, we have seen the practice grow and expand to having offices on the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast. The knowledge that the lawyers have developed regarding changes in Local Government legislation and employment/industrial relations laws have been very beneficial for the Council.

Aitken Legal has provided advice on remuneration, employment, industrial relations, injury management, workers compensation matters and enterprise bargaining and agreements, and all support and advice has stood the test of unions and other legal challenges. The advice is practical, well researched and considered. It has assisted our organisation to progress with workplace change while keeping in mind the potential for litigation and disputes.

We look forward to continuing our association with Aitken Legal in the years to come.
