Stevens & Associates Lawyers

What Stevens & Associates Lawyers does

Stevens & Associates Lawyers is a Sydney-based specialist employment law firm operating as Stevens and Associates P/L (ABN 52 611 896 701), founded in 2004 and led by Director Nick Stevens. The firm serves three primary client segments — employees, employers, and independent contractors — across Sydney and NSW, with marketing claims of national reach. Its service offering spans the full spectrum of Australian employment law including unfair dismissal claims, discrimination, workplace investigations, redundancy, employment contracts, adverse action and general protections claims, and industrial relations under the federal Fair Work Act 2009 and related NSW state legislation.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model with no proprietary technology platform. Revenue is generated through professional fees typically billed on hourly rates or fixed matter fees, with a free initial consultation offered as the primary client acquisition motion. The team consists of approximately eight to nine people: Director Nick Stevens, three solicitors (Evelyn Rivera, Ayla Hutchison, Dragana Prtenjak), and five paralegals, with the paralegal cohort having been progressively expanded between February 2025 and February 2026.

Go-to-market is sales-led and locally concentrated, relying on a single Sydney CBD office (Level 4, 74 Pitt Street), a content-heavy website, LinkedIn presence, email newsletters, and biannual breakfast seminars. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds, and operates independently as a boutique employment law practice.
