Laxon Lex is the best employment and media law firm in the country. John guided, supported and advised me through a difficult battle with Network Ten. His wise and kind counsel was utterly priceless. John and his team are consummate professionals. I could not recommend them more highly.

The reassurance that John Laxon and his amazing team provided me was welcome refuge after the shock and indignity of being abruptly sacked.  I couldn’t have been happier with the result, short of burning my old workplace to the ground.

When I was in need of more than phoning a friend, I turned to John Laxon.
When dark forces were aligned against me, he shone a light on my options.
Lax stood by me and stood up for me.
He doesn’t sugar coat the odds you face, but equally he never lets the bad guys bully their way to victory.
Lax has your back.
We won.

I was recommended John Laxon in 2016 after I was arrested on multiple charges of aggravated sexual assault alleged in the course of my work as a General Physician. The indictment against me was massive and I was in serious crisis on many fronts, emotionally, professionally, physically and financially.

The team at Laxon Lex inspired confidence and provided a pathway through which we achieved 63 not guilty verdicts (a clean sheet).

John put together two very committed defence teams for the two trials in 2017 and 2023. At all times the level of professionalism and ‘pastoral care’ shown to us was exceptional.

Taylor Goodrum, our instructing solicitor was  flawless  in her efforts to have the defence teams’ wheels well oiled.

Special thanks to you John, ‘skipper at the helm’  who has stayed the course with us and always offered us good council and has twice put together a defence team of really good lawyers, and also really good people, where my non-guilty verdicts meant as much to them as it did to me. For that I will be forever grateful.

John Laxon and his team held my hand kindly as they guided me through the terrible stress of litigation while at the same time fighting ferociously on my behalf. Kindness and a killer instinct to make a wrong right, what more could you ask for in a lawyer at one of the worst moments in your life?
