no win no fee employment advocates wellington
Our Wellington Employment Advocate can help you with difficult employment relationship problems.
We believe everyone should have access to legal representation to defend their rights under New Zealand employment law.
Looking for an experienced employment advocate in Wellington? We offer fast, professional support for workplace disputes, personal grievances, unfair dismissal claims, and more. With a No Win No Fee approach, you can get the help you need without the financial risk.
Like employment lawyers, we are experts in employment law — but unlike most, we offer our services on a contingency basis (No Win No Fee), meaning you only pay if we achieve a successful outcome.
When is it No Win No Fee and When is it Hourly rate?
The exception to the no win no fee arrangement is where we are trying to save your job and there is unlikely to be a financial outcome, for example representing you at disciplinary meetings.

I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone needing an employment advocate
I had a truly positive experience working with Sandy Ward during a very challenging and stressful period, and I am so glad I contacted Work Law before resigning out of exhaustion. From our first conversation, Sandy was calm, compassionate and genuinely took the time to understand my situation. She balanced empathy with professionalism, providing thoughtful, measured advice throughout the process. She made a difficult situation feel manageable and gave me confidence when I needed it most. Sandy’s communication was outstanding—clear, pragmatic and outcome focused. She combines genuine warmth with strong resolve and is clearly an exceptionally skilled & experienced advocate who is not going to be intimidated while negotiating! I felt I had someone firmly in my corner who was both compassionate and highly effective. I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone needing an employment advocate, she combines exceptional expertise with kindness, integrity and genuine care for her clients. Thank you Sandy.
I recommend Sandy.
Sandy is amazing! Very fast to respond and does a thorough job, trust her a lot and highly recommend her!
Sandy was a lifesaver!
Sandy was amazing! She was the calm amongst the storm I was going through. She provided me the support I wouldn’t be able to get from anyone else. She explained everything in a way I could understand and validated my feelings, and never said I was overreacting. She listened and read my emails even when I needed to get the anxiety out from the situation. She was a life saver and was a god send in a very ugly time of work career. Talk about aroha and mana… this woman has it and really without her I wouldn’t know what would have happened to me! She is worth her weight in gold!!
Reassuring Guidance Through a Stressful Time
I cannot thank Sandy enough for her support throughout my employment matter. From the very beginning she was professional, knowledgeable, reassuring, and incredibly easy to communicate with during what was a very stressful time for me. Sandy always made sure I understood the process, gave honest advice, and handled everything calmly and professionally. Thanks to her guidance, we achieved a very positive outcome that I was genuinely happy with. I highly recommend Sandy and Work Law to anyone needing employment advice or representation. Thank you again Sandy. I truly appreciate everything you did for me.

We were kept informed throughout the process which was professionally handled by Sandy.
The resulting settlement was far greater than we expected
Would recommend your company to anyone with employment issues.
