Our team offers comprehensive employment law services, but can also link you with experts across taxation law, franchising law or estate planning to ensure you reap all the benefits of your investments.

What Can Our Employment Lawyer Do for You

As one of the leading commercial law firms in Brisbane, Rouse Lawyers covers all aspects of employment law, including:

  • preparing employment and contractor agreements tailored to our clients’ specific business needs
  • advising on employee versus contractor issues
  • preparing exit agreements and deeds of release
  • protection of intellectual property and confidential information in the employment/contractor environment

  • advising large and small businesses in relation to employment disputes, including unfair dismissal claims and breach of contract matters

Client Reviews

"I would definitely recommend Robert Montes at Rouse Lawyers"

We approached Rouse Lawyers due to a shareholder dispute that we needed assistance with. This dispute was very upsetting to us as it involved other family members. Robert Montes was more than helpful with this tricky situation and we were able to solve all issues quite swiftly. Robert was very professional and was able to offer sound advice that greatly improved the outcome. I really liked the way in which he made us feel comfortable with talking to him and then the way in which he then dealt with and executed solutions. I would definitely recommend Robert Montes at Rouse lawyers to people who are looking for assistance and in particular with shareholder disputes. The experience as a whole was very positive and we were able to settle the dispute with minimum fuss.

"I would highly recommend Ben and the Rouse Lawyers team"

We are expanding our growing business into new areas. Ben Thorn took the time to understand our needs and delivered timely and expert advice. In addition to his coverage of the commercial transactions, Ben guided us through each step of the process of registering our trade mark. I would highly recommend Ben and the Rouse Lawyers team.

"We consider Rouse part of our team, and highly recommend them"

“Given the nature and size of our clients, we are constantly dealing with the big end of town when it comes to law firms. Matthew’s strategic advice has been utilised in negotiating software development agreements for our 3D interactive rendering engine, structuring our IP, employment matters, recoveries and corporate advice. We consider Rouse part of our team, and highly recommend them as a commercial law firm.”

“Michelle obviously had a wealth of experience”

“Michelle, at Rouse Lawyers, was very professional in helping us, ForkForce Australia, protect one of our domain names against a competitor’s legal dispute. Michelle obviously had a wealth of experience and she quickly helped diffuse a potentially larger legal situation to achieve a favourable outcome. Thanks again Michelle.”

"It's hard to find good lawyer that understands a "tech" business - Rouse Lawyers are that firm…"

“A Big Thank You” to Matthew & the Team at Rouse Lawyers – have assisted me & my business in so many different legal items – from wills to buying property/structuring our business/trademarks/negotiating large deals/spam/privacy issues/lease on our 4 different offices… It’s hard to find good lawyer that understands a “tech” business – Rouse Lawyers are that firm… so skilled in many areas.”

"Achieves excellent, cost effective results"

“Time and money are big factors in disputes. Eloise takes the pain and stress out of the process, frees up my time to focus on business, and achieves excellent, cost effective results. She provides timely, commercial advice and is always just a phone call away.”

Terry CuskellyQueensland Facility Services

"The team at Rouse Lawyers has been fantastic."

The team at Rouse Lawyers has been fantastic. As a new technology startup, we had some unique requirements around licensing and partner agreements, trademarking as well as off-shore contractor agreements. Matthew and Patrick have been great to deal with – not only from an advice perspective but also delivering these agreements in a timely manner. Dealing with Rouse Lawyers has allowed us to concentrate on our business knowing the legal side is in good hands.
