Biography
Jenny Smith is an employment and labour lawyer based in Sydney.
She approaches her practice in employment knowing that the right solution is as much about people management as it is about resolving legal issues. Approachable and communicative, Jenny is conscious that the best advice is not only practical in its application and easy for her clients to work with but also sustainable into the future.
Jenny advises clients ranging from major corporate entities to small business and individuals on all aspects of employment and industrial law including drafting and negotiating contracts, acting in employee litigation matters, running employee training programs, conducting investigations and mediations, advising on discrimination and harassment and advising on restraints and workplace restructure.
She also has considerable experience in the role of in-house counsel as a result of secondments to various clients, including publicly listed companies and government bodies. In a number of these secondments Jenny has performed generalist legal roles where she has advised not only on employment law matters, but also on a number of other corporate and commercial matters.
