Andrew of BlandsLaw was extremely helpful in assisting with a HR related issue in a small business setting. He provided both informed and practical advice and guidance that led to an amicable and quick resolution without inflated legal costs. Would not hesitate to engage Andrew again for any future HR based needs.

Andrew Bland and his team at BlandsLaw have shown that they can meet any challenge that we have put in front of them with professionalism, understanding and meeting the commercial needs of our company. They have shown that they can prioritise urgent matters to resolve any issues quickly. Andrew has also provided his own personal time to educate outside groups, at my request, to enable them to have a better understanding of the changes in employment law without any reward. Consequently, I personally recommend BlandsLaw to any company that is looking for a legal partner to assist in their commercial and HR needs.

I have been referring my clients to Andrew Bland and his team for over three years and I am extremely happy with the service, the quality and accuracy of information, and the outcomes that BlandsLaw have provided my clients. Both on behalf of my clients and for my own matters I have sought assistance with a range of issues both simple and very complex, in both employment law and commercial law.
I have been extremely impressed with the personal service, attention, care and commitment from the BlandsLaw team. I have found them to be approachable, easy to understand, prompt to return calls/emails and to have an excellent depth of knowledge on all matters relating to industrial relations, employment law and commercial law. I know that all of my clients who have used BlandsLaw’s services have been equally happy with the service and expertise provided.In my experience it is rare to find a legal firm so dedicated to personal attention and being approachable and accessible. I will continue to use BlandsLaw for any matters on behalf of myself or my clients where legal advice and support is required.

I think the key benefit for us in working with BlandsLaw is that we were kept informed all the way. I find it important to stay abreast of these matters to ensure we are all on the same page and stay on the same page. I found Andrew to be very responsive and informative throughout the dealings we have had and my clients have found his knowledge and professionalism to be excellent.

Managing Director, Total HRM
Dealing with Blands Law has rejuvenated my previously dubious perception of the legal fraternity as a result of poor service experiences. I’ve appreciated the prompt response to emails & phone calls, up-front cost quote, speed of service & plain-English answers to questions regarding the issue at hand.
Dealing with the owner and principal of the business directly rather than layers of sub-management is also greatly appreciated. It’s a relief now to know we have someone to turn to during a time of need and have the confidence we’ll get reliable service and information in return.
