Australian lawyer Dominic Green, accused his former executive assistant (EA) of numerous employment agreement breaches, including a failure to take care of his dog “in the manner allegedly agreed” while he was on holiday.

Principal solicitor and sole director of Green & Associates, Dominic Green, accused his former executive assistant (EA) of numerous employment agreement breaches, including a failure to take care of his dog “in the manner allegedly agreed” while he was on holiday.

The EA also allegedly failed to acceptably have solicitors, paralegals, and staff “hold the fort” while Green was gone, failed to satisfactorily manage his office renovations, and used working hours for personal matters.

The more serious allegations included the EA purporting to give legal advice when she was not qualified, financial misappropriation, and “sabotaging” the firm by assisting an employee with a compensation claim for an injury it alleged occurred in a personal capacity.

Green & Associates Solicitors claimed damages in the NSW Supreme Court for $267,260.34, of which $29,997.65 was for the alleged financial misappropriation.
