Meet Amanda, owner & Director Principal of Thrive.
Amanda is the owner and principal lawyer of Thrive Workplace Consulting & Legal and has experience in all areas of employment law. Amanda is a pragmatic and versatile employment lawyer, workplace investigator and consultant to the public and private sector.
I was referred to Thrive and Amanda Harvey by my company’s lawyers, and from the first interaction, Amanda was excellent. Despite how busy Amanda is, she appreciates how stressful and distracting legal matters can be, so goes out of her way to come back to you swiftly, communicate clearly, continually commit to timeframes for updates, and provide various options for next steps in the process. Amanda is calm, and provides an environment which leaves you confident you are dealing with a specialist in her space, which is invaluable.
“I engaged Amanda Harvey from Thrive Workplace Consulting after finding myself in a particularly unpleasant dispute with my employer following a workplace injury. Despite being flat out when I first called, Amanda gave me 30 minutes of her time to understand the issue and give me some early reassurance that she would be able to assist me. I felt immediately confident that she was the person to help me, and she went way beyond this expectation. Not only did she have an excellent knowledge of the law and the skills to negotiate a favourable settlement, she showed a great deal of empathy and really understood what I was going through. Amanda’s advice, moral support and legal expertise were what got me through a very challenging time and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Since engaging Amanda Harvey after a recommendation from a well-respected colleague I have had nothing but positive experiences with her firm. Ms Harvey is a true professional and offers our company calm, structured and confident advice that makes sure my decisions are strategic and correct. Recently she navigated us through a significant restructure of our enterprise. This period saw redundancies and outsourcing of different business units. It had the potential to be an emotional period of time for all parties concerned. Her expert advice on the best approaches and conversations with staff made all parties embrace the changes. This allowed a successful restructure that streamlined the business and reduced our overheads by more than $200,000 per year.”
“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.”
As a consultant providing solutions to businesses on how to manage their people risk, it is incredibly important to partner with likeminded experts. We have found Amanda and her team to be a perfect fit as our preferred employment law professionals, to service our clientele. It is refreshing to work with a legal team that approaches client service in a manner that is complementary to our business, where nothing is a problem.
Our team and our clients have enjoyed working with Thrive and we look forward to continuing our partnership for many years to come. I would highly recommend Amanda and the team at Thrive, if you are seeking someone to trust and to assist with navigating your workplace issues.
“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 Enterprise Agreement 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”
“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.”
“Amanda and the team at TWC Law have been a breath of fresh air to deal with. Their clear and proactive communication style really assures you that you have the right legal representation on your side. Advice and information is always forthcoming and allows for clear decision making which achieves great results. Would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a true legal business partner.”
“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.”
