AI Governance Starter Pack

Most organisations know AI governance is an issue. Few have started. The Starter Pack closes that gap — a structured risk baseline across eight employment domains, paired with an NZ employment-law-aware policy framework, so you know exactly where you stand before committing to anything bigger.

The lowest-friction way to start working with Lex Praxis, and the natural first step into ongoing advisory support.

• Eight-domain Risk Baseline Assessment — graded findings across hiring, performance, discipline, investigations, monitoring, agreements, and grievance handling
• A one-page Baseline Summary — graded risk snapshot with recommended next steps for each domain
• Optional: AI Governance Policy Framework — six sections, NZ employment-law-aware, adapted to your organisation
• Any Critical or Serious finding comes with a direct recommendation to escalate to the full AI Employment Risk Audit

AI Employment Risk Audit

The right place to start. A focused review of your current or intended AI use, mapped against your NZ employment law obligations. Fast to commission, fast to deliver, and it tells you exactly where you stand.

Most clients commission an audit before any significant AI rollout — because understanding your exposure first is significantly cheaper than managing it afterwards.

• Review of current or intended AI use across the organisation
• Identification of employment law risks — privacy, monitoring, bias, automated decision-making
• Gap analysis against NZ obligations (Employment Relations Act, Privacy Act 2020, HSWA psychosocial duties)
• 5–10 page written report with risk rating
• Prioritised action list — what to fix first and why

Employment Relations Advisory

Specialist employment law advisory for employers navigating real situations — from the first phone call after a personal grievance lands, to representation in mediation or before the Employment Relations Authority.

This work is high-value and comes primarily from the trust built through audit and retainer relationships. We work with SMEs of 20–200 employees who need specialist advice without the cost structure of a large law firm.

• Personal grievance response and strategy
• Mediation representation — Employment Relations Authority mediation
• Workplace investigations — independent, thorough, defensible
• Disciplinary process management and documentation
• Redundancy process advice and good faith compliance
• Employment agreements, policies, and HR documentation
• AI misuse investigations and disciplinary support

Predictable monthly access to specialist employment law and AI advisory. For clients who want standing access to expert judgment without commissioning individual engagements every time a question arises.

Retainer clients receive priority response, ongoing policy updates as AI tools and employment law evolve, and a trusted advisory relationship that compounds in value over time.
