Michael May (BLS, Dip.Arts, MA) has been an employer, and an employee, for 30 years. In that time, he has run into nearly every type of employment problem you can imagine (and some you might not).
During those years, he worked closely as a drafting expert alongside lawyers from private firms on finance deals, with barristers, with human rights lawyers, and with prosecutors. Michael has applied for membership in the Employment Law Institute of New Zealand - ELINZ.
Michael is not a lawyer - but that’s to your advantage. His fees are affordable and, with his extensive knowledge of the rules and procedures around the Employment Relations Act 2000, he is keen help you with your employment problem.
