Lucia has worked with a wide range of people and organisations to resolve employment issues pragmatically.

She has represented clients in the Employment Relations Authority, Employment Court and mediation.

Businesses and professional bodies have sought Lucia out for upskilling their members in all areas of employment law, both in house and at conferences and seminars.
