Employment Law & Debt Management

Employment Law & Debt Management Lawyers Serving the Mornington Peninsula and Goulburn Valley Region

Running your business is a complex matter, staff contracts, the national employment standards, work cover, business insurance and wrong full dismissal. In small business it is nearly impossible to keep up with the changing Laws and employee rights.

The worst you can do when facing difficult bisiness decisions, either personally or as a company director, is to ignore the issue. Obtaining professional advice early about your legal rights and options may help mitigate loss and increase the chances of financial recovery.

We have significant experience in employment law, insurance law, debt recovery and corporate insolvency matters and can provide considered, practical advice in these areas. If you have staff issues, contract disputes with suppliers are dealing with, or in business with companies or individuals, our advice can make a substantial difference to the outcome of the matter.

Debt recovery

Sustaining a business without regular cashflow is not possible and a business that has not been paid for goods or services delivered is at a significant disadvantage. Businesses need a practical, commercial approach to debt recovery that minimises further loss and provides quick, effective solutions so owners and staff can get back to doing what makes their business great.

To identify the most suitable process to recover a debt and avoid throwing good money after bad, an informed decision must be made, which will usually take into consideration:

  • the correct identity and nature of the debtor – whether an individual, partnership, company
  • the amount owed and how long it has been outstanding
  • whether the debt is disputed and, if so, the reason claimed for non-payment
  • the solvency of the debtor and the likelihood of the debtor being able to satisfy a judgement in favour of the creditor
  • whether there is industry-specific legislation relevant to pursuing the debt
  • What contractual arrangement have you made with the debtor and do you have the ABN and correct corporate details

We will assess your circumstances and provide strategic debt recovery advice suited to your situation, whether that be by an initial letter of demand, the issue of a statutory demand under the Corporations Act 2001, negotiating with the debt and entering into an agreement to pay by instalments, or through court proceedings.

Our principal has significant experience in debt collections and recoveries and has been the owner and manager of Target Collections Australia Pty Ltd which provided a full range of collections services.

I changed to Michael to deal with a deceased estate after having had a frustrating, long drawn out experience with another lawyer. Michael settled everything exceptionally efficiently and was such a pleasure to deal with. Also with very reasonable costs. I highly recommend this firm. Thanks again Michael.

I can’t recommend Louise Day from MRCLAW highly enough. She recently supported me through a complex employment law matter and was absolutely outstanding. From our very first conversation, Louise was professional, empathetic, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly, kept me informed at every step, and handled the situation with confidence and care, giving me peace of mind during one of the most stressful situations I've ever encountered in a workplace. To anyone looking for honest, skilled and reliable legal support. If you need someone who genuinely listens, fights for you, and knows employment law inside and out – Louise is the one to call. Thank you again for your amazing work!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Catherine from Michael R Coldham & Associates (MrClaw), and I can’t recommend her highly enough. From the moment we first reached out, she demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism and dedication. Catherine’s customer service is top-notch—responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful. The quality of her service was outstanding. What impressed me most was her positive approach. She didn’t just address our immediate concerns but also offered constant reassurance along the way. In an industry where it's easy to feel like just another number, Catherine from made us feel like a priority. If you're looking for a reliable conveyancer who will go the extra mile to assist with a smooth house purchase, look no further.
