We help business owners go from people problems to teams that get results.
Business owners come to us when they are feeling overwhelmed by legal requirements, have employees who don’t seem to know how to behave or do their job, and their teams aren’t effective or productive.
We don’t just solve the symptoms. Together, we help them turn their business around by creating a thriving workplace culture where the employees can understand and share the company vision.
Hey there, I’m Jo Alilovic
I’m the Director and founder of 3D HR Legal.
In over 20 years of being a lawyer, I’ve learned that most business owners just want a team that gets the job done and helps their business prosper.
Instead, they struggle with communicating and having difficult conversations, they aren’t sure what the law allows them to do, and the result is sleepless nights worrying about legal claims and all the work still to be done.
In 3D HR Legal, we help them resolve their people problems, and give them the tools to feel like natural born leaders.
our team

Jo did her training in the largest independent law firm in Perth. While there she simultaneously completed a Masters in Human Resources and Industrial Relations, to add to her undergraduate degrees in law and commerce (majoring in management and human resources).
