About us

LMPL is an industrial relations consultancy. We assist individuals and organisations with industrial award and agreement-related matters.

Established in 2011, our practitioners include compliance officers and industrial advocates with over 25 years' experience. Industrial relations is everything we do. We provide the tools to risk-manage disputes related to the underpayment of wages and other pay items under a work agreement. A pay item is an allowance, penalty rate or wage level.

LMPL has links to a range of other professional advisers who are available as required; we often work in concert with accountancy and legal advisers.
