I have known Elizabeth Devine since 2017 when we both became involved in the Australasian Association of Workplace investigators (AAWI). Elizabeth was dedicated and proactive in establishing and running the Sydney chapter of AAWI, including the highly successful AAWI Conference Workplace Investigations – Risky Business? held in Sydney in October 2019. Elizabeth’s passion for providing effective communication and legal advice, conflict resolution and professionalism permeates throughout her portfolio of expertise. She is an exceptional trainer. I recently had the opportunity to co-facilitate a workshop on Best Practice Workplace investigations with Elizabeth for a University. She provides a respectful, personalised service and I have had no hesitation in referring my existing clients to Elizabeth to undertake challenging matters.

Claire Alder , Consultant Independent Investigator and Accredited Mediator

I have known Elizabeth Devine as a colleague and practitioner for over 10 years.  I remet her during my time as a sessional Registrar at the Federal Circuit Court.  Elizabeth is well across the law, as one would expect from a workplace specialist.  What sets her apart is her pragmatic and commercial advice on handling sensitive matters.  She is also conscious of ensuring that businesses look to review and fix systems that might have contributed to one-off claims.  This makes her a valued and valuable workplace adviser for both companies and individuals.
