DISPUTE RESOLUTION specialist Craig Powell and his team of four lawyers have joined Thomson Playford’s Sydney office, significantly strengthening the firm’s capability in the area.

Powell previously worked in two senior litigation roles with two major firms before setting up his own practice. He has considerable experience working for clients across a diverse range of industries including media, stockbroking, residential construction and food and beverage sectors.

The firm’s chief executive officer, Brett Goodridge, said that the appointment was in line with the firm’s growth strategy. “As our client base grows and the needs of existing clients increase, it’s important to remain ahead of the game to ensure that we continue to provide the highest level of service,” he said.
