Author: Jacob Reddie

Jacob is an employment lawyer with experience acting for employees and employers in general protections applications, unfair dismissals, and other employment disputes.

Jacob also enjoys developing workplace policies and procedures that reduce risk and thus provides clients with proactive solutions to avoiding future legal problems. Jacob graduated from the University of Sydney in 2016 with degrees in law and science, with a major in mathematics. Jacob also has a keen interest in evidence and constitutional law.
