Jenkins Legal & Advisory

Got an unfair dismissal claim? Before you defend the decision, check whether the Fair Work Commission can even hear it.

Late lodgement, minimum employment periods, the high income threshold, or a genuine redundancy can all end a claim at the jurisdiction stage, if you raise it early in the F3 response.

Quick question: does your will control your super? Actually, no, in most cases it doesn't. Without a valid binding nomination, your super fund's trustee decides who gets it, not your will. Worth a five-minute check.

Our Legal Director Micah Jenkins, GM Louise Williams and Commercial Lawyer Isaiah Broad had a wonderful day at the PKF Hunter Valley W**e Show Celebrations Luncheon, where Micah presented the James Busby Memorial Trophy for Best 3-Year-Old & Older Shiraz (proudly sponsored by JLA) to Mike De Iuliis of De Iuliis W**es for their Reserve Shiraz 2023. Congratulations Mike!

Catching up with the Hunter w**e community is always a highlight, and MC Merrick Watts had us in stitches. Cheers to a great day.

Signing a commercial lease? The rent is the easy part.

Fire safety, planning approval, make-good obligations and your right to assign or sublet all deserve a proper look before you sign — not after.

Our property team can review your lease and flag the risks that aren't obvious at first glance.

Yesterday Micah Jenkins and Louise Williams represented JLA at Business Hunter's lunch at Newcastle Racecourse, with special guest NSW Premier Chris Minns, an event that also marked Business Hunter's 140th anniversary. Great to hear the Premier speak about the Hunter's economy and its future. Thanks to Business Hunter for a fantastic event.
