Welcome to Lacey & Co. The Integrity Group, located in Ballarat Central, Webster Street, Australia. As a leading law firm, we understand the importance of a safe and respectful workplace environment. We believe that when your employees feel secure and free from inappropriate conduct, they can be more productive and efficient, helping you achieve your goals.

At Lacey & Co., we not only practice what we preach, but we also help our clients find effective solutions to create a positive work culture. Our team specializes in providing strategic legal advice on workplace law, including discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying, and victimization. We offer guidance on various governance and integrity matters across multiple disciplines. Our aim is to set you up for success by providing contracts, systems, suites, and procedures that prevent issues rather than just resolving them.

In cases where a formal complaint arises, a toxic team dynamic emerges, or systemic failures hinder productivity, it is crucial for your organization to respond appropriately. Our highly skilled team is recognized locally, nationally, and internationally as expert investigators in allegations of inappropriate conduct, such as bullying, sexual harassment, discrimination, victimization, and scientific research integrity.

Lacey & Co. also offers comprehensive face-to-face and online training programs tailored to your organization's specific needs. Our training covers essential topics, including appropriate workplace conduct, leadership support throughout the employee lifecycle, and whistleblower obligations and protections.

In addition to our legal expertise, we excel in negotiations, mediations, conciliations, and alternative dispute resolution processes. Our goal is to assist you when issues arise and help you find the most effective solutions.

For NDIS providers, we offer a comprehensive NDIS Audit compliance framework and suite of documents. Our frameworks are designed to meet NDIS practice standards and alleviate the stress associated with the Audit process, bringing confidence to your organization during Stage 1 and 2 of the Audit.

Lacey & Co. began as a concept named "Fish," inspired by the Chinese proverb: "Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day, teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime." We strive to provide sustainable lawyering, advice, and strategy that not only resolves immediate issues but also empowers your workplace village to thrive.

Our previous incarnation as Blue Sky Resolution was inspired by the question of whether we can be better and what the ideal scenario would be. Now, as Lacey & Co., we embrace the concept of a team that teaches and wonders with you about the blue sky scenario for your work. Our team is dedicated to helping you work towards that vision.

The name "Lacey" represents the village that Elizabeth, one of our founding members, considers her fifth child. The "Co" symbolizes the essential collaboration and contribution of every team member, ensuring our success. As The Integrity Group, we prioritize doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

The village at Lacey & Co. is more than just a team; it is a collaborative and supportive community. We prioritize safety for our team members and clients, leading to incredible productivity and unwavering focus. Our environment fosters the growth of ideas, encourages challenges, and helps you find sustainable solutions.

We would like to acknowledge the ongoing sovereignty, ancestors, and elders past and present of the Wadawurrung and the Dja Dja Wurrung People of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional and Ongoing Custodians of the lands on which we occupy. We recognize that these lands have never been ceded. We are honored to live and work on their lands and waters, which hold a rich history of sovereignty, ceremonies, resistance, and renewal, with the Wudawurrung and Dja Dja Wurrung as the custodians.

We also pay our respects to all the neighboring Nations and Clans who share these lands.
