about Luke

Luke understands the complex dynamics of the employer–employee relationship, making this area of the law so unique and often highly emotional for those involved.

For over 20 years he has been supporting clients in navigating employment laws to achieve the best outcomes and resolve issues before they escalate.  The opportunity to contribute to the success of his clients and improve company culture drives Luke to achieve great outcomes.

Luke’s clients vary from ASX listed companies and multinationals through to smaller businesses and individual executives. They praise Luke for his down to earth approach and practical insight, and his ability to convert complex situations into clear, commercial recommendations.

“There are many factors involved in employment matters – commercial drivers, reputation, personalities, and of course the particular factual circumstances. They all need to be considered when weighing up risk and finding the best solution.”

Luke heads up the Employment, Safety and Migration practice, and takes great pride in ensuring a commercial mindset and outstanding service across the entire team.
