This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance every step of the way.

About to Sign a New Job Contract? Not Sure What You’re Agreeing To?

Employment contracts in Australia can include complex clauses about pay, hours, duties, termination, intellectual property, bonuses and more. Whether you’re starting a new job, changing roles or dealing with a contract dispute, it’s essential to understand what you’re signing.

Even a contract that looks fair might contain terms that restrict your rights, leave out legal entitlements or expose you to risk later on. Some clauses like restraint of trade or performance-based pay can have serious consequences.

Law Tram connects you with lawyers who can review your employment contract, explain what it means in plain English, and advise you on changes or risks before you commit.
