Living locally in Perth her entire life, Karen Nelson demonstrates a commitment to provide first-class advice to the mining, construction, manufacturing and industrial maintenance sectors that contribute so much to the local economy. In an earlier role within the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WA), she garnered unique insight into the state’s industrial relations landscape and what matters for business. As Western Australia’s Senior Workplace Relations Advisor, she prides herself on the provision of practical advice and strong professional relationships, where she assists members with enterprise bargaining, performance management, unfair dismissal, general protections claims and other workplace matters.
‘Some businesses still view legal advice as a service that is sought to deal with a problem, unaware that we have the expertise and resources to assess business, forecast potential problems and offer advice aligned with its goals.’
Reflecting on the benefits that Ai Group Workplace Lawyers provides members, Karen explains how it all begins with genuine client care, starting with the time invested to understand the business model and its goals.
