Client Testimonials

"Amanda has been trusted counsel, guiding Kennards Self Storage through all aspects of employment and industrial law since 2005. This has involved the successful resolution of industrial disputes and EBA creation, negotiation and approval. Amanda has taken the time to understand our culture, management style and our business requirements, providing sound, ethical advice appropriate for our industry" Darren Marshall, Kennards Self Storage

"I recently engaged Thrive Workplace Consulting & Legal to assist me with an employment matter. I found Amanda Harvey to be a highly experienced and committed individual, with extensive knowledge of employment law and workplace practices. Amanda has a refreshing, common sense approach. She understands and considers the personal impacts of decisions, rather than focusing purely on the legal approach. Amanda worked around the clock for me to ensure that extremely time sensitive deadlines were met and and that negotiations did not stall. In fact, all communication was done remotely as I am interstate, but despite this, communication was constant, responsive and thorough. Amanda's counsel led to a successful outcome for me. I highly recommend Amanda Harvey and Thrive Workplace Consulting & Legal."- Stuart Himing

"Thrive provided me with practical advice in relation to my staffing issues. I feel that Amanda has helped me to protect my interests as an employer whilst also allowing me to be fair to my employees."
Kylie Rose - Principal - Kylie Rose & Associates.

I have worked with Amanda since 2008 on a wide variety of issues, including a number of especially delicate employment law matters and internal investigations. In addition to being a very skilled legal practitioner, I was highly impressed with Amanda's balanced insight and commercial approach. She quickly developed trust and credibility with internal stakeholders, and always ensured her advice was presented in an accessible and actionable way. I would not hesitate to recommend her services. Sarah Willsallen, Fuji Xerox
