Kate

Minuteman Press Mitcham

“As a lawyer who does not specialise in employment law, I have found Sheena to be exemplary in her understanding of the legislation and framework for employment law, including the Fair Work requirements. Sheena is knowledgeable regarding most jurisdictions and is invaluable as a consultant for any issues raised by our clients and their employees, and we regularly refer our clients to Sheena. I have no hesitation in recommending Sheena and Kane Consulting for any human resources matters.”

Dean Bosman
