Sarah Goodhew has been elevated to the position of partner at Seyfarth Shaw, having joined the firm’s Sydney office in 2015 when it established its WHS practice.
Ms Goodhew is “an accomplished workplace health and safety lawyer”, the firm said in a statement.
Commenting on Ms Goodhew’s appointment, Australian managing partner Darren Perry said: “We are excited to have Sarah become the second lawyer to be promoted to partner since we opened our Australian practice.”
“Having worked in workplace health and safety law for nearly 15 years, she has developed extensive knowledge in this field. Since joining Seyfarth she has become known for her practical, realistic and commercially sound advice to clients,” he added.
Ms Goodhew is currently on maternity leave and will return to the office later in the year.
