Background

About Will Snow

I'm a lawyer who advises on when things go wrong at work. At Snow Legal, I lead a team of employment law specialists who love the work they do. The work could be about termination of employment, investigations and handling allegations of misconduct, employee and union disputes, safety incidents or monetary claims. If there is a tricky HR issue that you're grappling with, I know how to manage it. Most of my work relates to business and government in the SA and the NT, but I advise clients from across Australia and those coming to do business in Australia. I usually act for employers and organisations, but I do act for individuals also, with a reputation in giving practical advice to executives and managers to negotiate their exits from deteriorating work situations. I give most of my advice at the earliest stage of these problems - before things go to court. I have particular expertise in responding rapidly to uncertain risk situations, including safety incidents and fatalities, unprotected industrial action and instances of serious misconduct, bullying and workplace fraud. I also assist clients to manage broader risks with respect to corporate and social responsibility obligations and upstream customer expectations. My areas include: Restraints of trade, unfair dismissal, executive termination issues, adverse action and contract claims. IR litigation in the Fair Work Commission, State and Federal courts. Work health and safety obligations, safety investigations and advice on regulatory investigations and prosecutions, including in relation to environmental obligations. Management of workers compensation disputes for self-insured employers and also registered employers before the SA Employment Tribunal. Investigating allegations of workplace fraud, sexual harassment, misconduct and grievances. Advice on managing ill and injured employees. Advice on compliance with child protection legislation Specialties: Employment, Industrial Relations, Work Health and Safety, Human Resources, People Management, Conflict Management, Corporate and Social Responsibility, Workplace Investigations, Advocacy
