Workplace Resolve

John has been providing employment and industrial relations advice and guidance to me since 2002. I find his advice to be both accurate and practical for the situation, and he actively looks for solutions which meet both legal and operational requirements. One of the first actions I took at DMS was to contract John on a retainer basis to provide his services.  John has also led very successful in-house education and training sessions on industrial relations and employment law. His unique presentation style has been very successful in getting the message across to managers and supervisors at various levels in the organisation.

I have relied on the advice of John Lunny for a variety of IR and employment contract issues over the past 9 years. Over this period John has offered advice firmly based firmly on the law with a strong element of commercial praticality. He is a trusted adviser who I will continue to use and I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others.

John is one of the best.  You go to him with difficult people issues and he has the rare ability to provide a legal opinion in a practical framework.  His background as an HR practitioner is invaluable. Add to these qualities his lilting Scottish accent and good sense of humour and you know why HR professionals enjoy working with him.

I first met John and started taking his IR legal advice when he was practising in Melbourne over a decade ago. When he moved to Brisbane to head up a legal practice I followed him there.
Its not just clear legal advice I need its also the legal strategy to achieve the best business outcome. And John is very good at this.

For three years,  John Lunny as a Consultant with DLA Philips Fox provided pro-bono legal services to Cancer Council Queensland in the area of workplace and industrial relations. During this time John was extremely responsive, decisive and clear with his advice. He spent time getting to know us and learning all about our organisation before offering strategic advice. He has helped with a range of legal matters, all of which has been handled with a great level of aptitude and accuracy. John has always provided high quality and efficient legal advice which has been tailored to our circumstances at the time.  Importantly, he has also been a sounding board and provided counsel at key stages in the development of contracts and employment policies.

John has provided employee relations advice to the Cerebral Palsy League for over 8 years.  As you can imagine employing over 1600 staff brings its joys and challenges and John has been with us every step of the way making sure those challenges could be anticipated and mitigated wherever possible and aiding us to set up the frameworks to  maximise the joy of managing staff that are geographically spread and in very diverse professions.  

His recent involvement in helping us to create one Enterprise Agreement for all staff of the CPL was invaluable.   The ongoing support he has provided on individual industrial matters has been responsive, pragmatic and informed by years of experience in the field.  His expert knowledge and vast experience along with a great  sense of humour have made this aspect of my job enjoyable and highly productive. 

I have full confidence in his advice and his negotiation style ensures all that involved resolve the matter quickly and with dignity. If you are thinking of using John Lunny don’t hesitate, you will not be disappointed.
