Got an employee issue that's doing your head in? Bring it to the free clinic.
Resolve Legal Employment Law is running a free, face-to-face employment law clinic exclusively for Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce members; a private 30-minute session with an employment law specialist, at no cost, on the last Friday of the month in August, September & October.
Ask the Resolve Legal team anything! A tricky performance conversation, a disciplinary process, ongoing absences, a medical incapacity, a restructure you're weighing up, a resignation that doesn't feel right — whatever it is, you can talk it through in plain English and walk out knowing your options.
Why it matters
An avoidable personal grievance is one of the most expensive mistakes a business can make. By the time you add a settlement, legal fees and the management hours lost to it, a single PG can cost an employer tens of thousands of dollars. Most could have been prevented with one good conversation with a lawyer before acting. That conversation is exactly what this clinic is for.
Resolve Legal is a resolution-focused firm, giving practical, straight-up advice so you can make sensible decisions and steer well clear of court. Resolution, not litigation.

Meet Max
Clinic sessions are with Max Hickling, a Resolve Legal solicitor and a proud Nelson local. His family still live here, and he understands how much the Nelson Tasman business community matters. It's a genuine pleasure for us to have one of Nelson's own back in town, helping local employers.
