Implement – we draft relevant charters, policies and procedures and meet with board members, executives, management and stakeholders to implement a Sustainability Framework; and

I recently had a complex legal matter that involved some unpacking and finessing. I engaged the services of Pragma Lawyers and the outcome was very favourable for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pragma to my clients and I will contine to use their legal services for any future needs.
"Pragma recently facilitated appropriate workplace behaviour training for 200 employees at BDO Perth. Libbi and Max presented the content in an informative and interactive manner, and were able to apply a commercial lens to the training. The case study examples used in the training were highly relevant to our industry and helped engage our people in what can be a complex and ambiguous area of legislation. I have had positive feedback from Partners and employees following the session and I would have no hesitation in recommending Pragma for future training opportunities."
"We used Pragma to draw up new staff contracts following the new WHS Act and found their service to be seamless. Quick response times and price transparently provided up front. They happily answered our follow up queries and understood our industry specific needs amazingly quickly. Will happily use again as our go-to legal support."
Aaron is an extremely hard working and dedicated professional. His commitment to client service is second to none, and he's a good bloke too. It's probably a bit cliché to say Pragma are pragmatic but really that’s a great way to describe it. The reason I do recommend Pragma is because I know when I send a client or an associate to Pragma that they're going to be happy with the outcome that they receive.
Partnering with Pragma Lawyers for both representation and advice was a pleasure. Aaron and his team not only exhibited professionalism but also demonstrated a keen commercial awareness that set them apart from most other firms. What truly impressed me was their ability to navigate complexities swiftly, consistently achieving fast resolutions without compromising quality. With Aaron, the Founding Director, personally handling all our matters, we experienced firsthand the dedication and expertise driving their success. I highly recommend you look no further than Pragma.
Pragma Lawyers provided us with clear and concise advice on a number of complex industrial relations and employment matters. Their guidance was not only solid and timely but also gave us confidence at every stage that we were in good hands. Libbi and Ben, in particular, were always available when we needed them, ensuring we felt supported throughout the process. We're very happy with the outcomes and would highly recommend Pragma for their expertise and dedication.
