Drayton’s Law is the legal arm of Drayton’s, operating as a Queensland-based incorporated legal practice and working seamlessly alongside Drayton’s Workplace Consulting
This integrated model allows clients to move smoothly from strategic workplace and industrial relations advice into privileged legal support when required. Drayton’s Law assists employers with the legal risk underpinning enterprise bargaining, union engagement, disputes, investigations and Fair Work and other commission matters, including litigation strategy, legal advice under privilege, and representation support.
With deep Queensland industry experience and a solutions-focused approach, we help clients protect their position, manage risk proactively, and resolve complex workplace issues efficiently and confidently.
Drayton’s Law supports employers with legal advice and representation across:
Privileged legal advice on enterprise bargaining, protected industrial action and union right of entry
Legal support and representation in Fair Work Commission matters, including unfair dismissal, general protections, disputes and agreement approval proceedings
Advice on employment contracts, restraint of trade clauses, confidentiality and executive employment arrangements
Strategic advice on managing termination, redundancy and business restructuring processes
Legal oversight of workplace investigations, including findings, recommendations and risk management
Advice on discrimination, bullying, harassment and adverse action claims under Australian employment law
Litigation strategy and representation support for employment-related disputes before courts and commissions
Advice on compliance with the Fair Work Act, Modern Awards and workplace relations legislation
Legal risk management for major projects, tenders and unionised workforces
We advise employers operating in complex, unionised and blue-collar environments where decisions must work on site — not just on paper. Our legal advice is grounded in practical industrial relations experience, ensuring strategies are workable, defensible and aligned with how Queensland workplaces actually operate.
Draytons Law works seamlessly alongside Draytons Workplace Consulting, giving clients a direct pathway from industrial strategy to privileged legal advice. This integrated approach reduces risk, avoids duplication, and ensures legal decisions support broader commercial, project and workforce objectives.
With more than 25 years’ experience in industrial relations and employment law, we understand the Fair Work Commission, union dynamics and regulatory landscape. This depth allows us to anticipate issues early and guide clients through disputes, bargaining and investigations with confidence.
We prioritise early resolution, risk management and commercial outcomes — stepping into litigation only when necessary. Our approach helps clients protect their position, maintain control and keep matters moving, even in high-stakes or time-critical workplace situations.
Whether you’re dealing with a live dispute, a Fair Work matter, a workplace investigation or a complex employment decision, we provide clear, practical legal advice to help you manage risk and move forward with confidence.
