Dentons’ national employment and safety expertise has been boosted with the addition of Partner Jackie Hamilton and Special Counsel Lara Hues and Christie Toy to its Brisbane office.
Nick Linke, Dentons’ Australia Employment and Safety Practice Group Leader, and Partner said: “We are eager to welcome Jackie, Lara and Christie to our employment and safety team.
“Onboarding Jackie, Lara, and Christie further solidifies our commitment to client service in this progressively complex field of law. Their expertise boosts our bench strength and is a proactive stride towards pre-empting and addressing our clients’ growing needs.”
Between them, Jackie, Lara and Christie have vast experience in public sector employment law, spanning about 50 years that has been acquired during their employment at both Crown Law and Holding Redlich.
Over this period, they have worked exclusively in advising and representing State Government departments and entities in employment matters.
Specialising in workplace law, Jackie, Lara and Christie have advised and represented clients on a range of employment, discrimination, discipline, and industrial relations issues.
Jackie Hamilton
Before her employment as a Partner at Holding Redlich, Jackie worked for Crown Law for 20 years, with 10 of those years in the role of Assistant Crown Solicitor, when she managed a large team of workplace lawyers.
Jackie said: “In light of the recent extensive employment reforms, it is crucial to be part of a dynamic team that supports and encourages a forward-thinking perspective to the increasing complexities of employment law. It’s also paramount that clients not only stay compliant but also stay one step ahead so Dentons’ reputation for in-depth expertise, innovative tactics and proactive client service aligns perfectly with our approach.”
With Jackie’s appointment, Dentons’ Employment and Safety practice now has a team of seven partners. The addition of Lara and Christie raises the national team to a group of 19 lawyers.
