This includes employment law, industrial relations, discrimination, and work health and safety. James joins from KPMG where he led the workplace and employment law group.

We are delighted to build on our existing capabilities with the addition of James and the workplace and employment practice, providing further access to legal and industry experts, focused on solving complex problems.
This is an exciting time for the firm, as we recently launched our holding company, Halo Group Holdings, which is the holding company of Hamilton Locke, Emerson CoSec and Source. We look forward to continuing this trajectory as we continue to work to evolve the corporate services landscape.
