What we do

NRA Legal draws on unrivaled experience and industry knowledge to manage business risks and provide solutions to the wide range of workplace relations challenges in your business.

As the only retail association with a wholly owned legal practice, you can feel confident you are receiving industry specific advice at a competitive price.

We advocate on issues that affect retailers, representing their interests on a local, state, federal and even international level.

We drive change via policy submissions, legal cases, industry committees and in-person briefings to government.

We have developed strong relationships with key decision-makers across all sides of government.

We advise & assist retailers in accessing government incentives of which many businesses are unaware.

Our long-standing reputation means that multiple arms of government ask for the NRA’s perspective on issues facing retail and fast food businesses.

Information is power. We work with multiple sectors across the economy to pull data and insight that affects the retail industry. We share this insight and information with our members via weekly updates, reports and 24/7 access to our exclusive Member Portal.

DATA

We provide regular insight on the retail industry to our members. We also pull insight from other sectors such as online shopping, banking, consumer sentiment, economic data, and government statistics to help members make fully informed decisions about their business.

INDUSTRY NEWS

We share information of what’s happening across the industry with members every week – new players, successful strategies, companies in financial trouble, and consumer trends that may disrupt the marketplace.

LEGAL UPDATES

We alert our members immediately to updates on key legislation, current cases that may set precedents, Fair Work Ombudsman announcements, and tips to help employers to manage their legal obligations.

The NRA regularly hosts exciting and educational events that allow members and partners to collaborate with like-minded professionals, learn from thought leaders, build their business network, and stay abreast of current issues.
