Luke Connolly

Adviser, Employment Law

GenesisHR is lucky to be supported by one of Australia’s Leading Employment Lawyers.

Luke is the Principal at Connolly Workplace Law established by Luke in 2013 primarily because, after 20 years, Luke formed the view that workplace relations, employment and safety law (WRES) just isn’t suited to the big firms – to be blunt – they’re a rip off! WRES is a niche area often requiring short, sharp, and responsive advice with fast turnaround, all in the course of an employer’s daily operations and without a ridiculously priced bill sent to you for it. Luke and GenesisHR share this view.
