A partner from BigLaw firm MinterEllison is leaving practice for the judiciary, having been appointed to the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.
Karl Blake has been announced as a new judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia, and will commence in the Melbourne Registry on 30 January 2019, federal Attorney-General Christian Porter said in a statement.
Over the course of his legal career, Mr Blake has been “recognised as a leading practitioner in industrial relations and employment law”, Mr Porter said.
“On behalf of the government, I congratulate Mr Blake on his appointment and thank him for his willingness to serve the people of Australia as a judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia,” he added.
The appointment follows the news of two additional part-time commissioners – the Honourable Michelle May AM QC and the Honourable Cheryl Edwards AM GAICD – being appointed to the Australian Law Reform Commission to assist with the review of the family law system earlier in December.
