“I cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism of KJK Legal for the support and high level assistance they provided me during my time as National Workers Compensation Manager for Hills Limited. KJK Legal understood the history of the business and the culture of the organisation and using this knowledge were able to provide premium advice to myself and upper management ensuring that Hills Limited’s interests were protected whilst meeting obligations under the Self-Insurance license. Through KJK Legal’s assistance Hills, over a 3 year period, was successfully able to finalise significant numbers of very complex ‘long tail’ claims at minimum cost to the business whilst maintaining Hills statutory obligations. KJK Legal were always available to respond to upper management queries pertaining to Workers Compensation Liability and through the resources available at KJK Legal extended this advice to the fields of Industrial and Employment relations as necessary.”
