Helen Clarke (pictured) has joined JWS from fellow national firm Corrs Chambers Westgarth, where she served for nearly 23 years – almost 11 of which as a partner. Most recently, she was partner-in-charge of Corrs’ Brisbane office.
Ms Clarke is, JWS said in a statement, “one of Australia’s top TMT, data privacy and intellectual property lawyers”.
She acts for major private sector and government clients across the health, financial services, telecommunications, education and energy and resources industries and has a strong focus on digital transformation, technology procurement, data privacy, cyber security and technology-driven transactions.
JWS managing partner Jeremy Davis said that he is “delighted” to welcome Ms Clarke to the firm.
“Australia’s technology sector is booming. Our firm has a very strong reputation in this area, with a particular focus on major technology projects and large tech M&A,” he proclaimed.
“Helen is an extremely well-regarded TMT lawyer. Having her on board will deepen our expertise and support the continued growth of our team.”
This appointment follows a string of lateral hires as the firm looks to build out its leading TMT practice. JWS remains focused, it noted, on continuing this growth trajectory.
“As a firm, we remain acutely focused on growing our capabilities in key areas to meet the growing demand from our clients,” Mr Davis concluded.
