Holding Redlich adds new WHS partner
National law firm Holding Redlich has moved to bolster its workplace health and safety ranks with the appointment of a new partner for its Melbourne office.
Jane Hall (pictured) has joined Holding Redlich, bringing more than 25 years of experience in courtrooms and time as an executive in a health and safety regulator and a “strong reputation” for her ability to guide clients from large ASX-listed companies, private enterprises and government organisations through criminal litigation and complex health and safety problems, the firm outlined.
The news follows the firm’s appointment of a special counsel from lawyerbank as a new partner in mid-December, the hiring of a special counsel from MinterEllison as a partner in mid-November, and the promotion of 41 lawyers to more senior roles in late June last year.
Speaking about the hire, Holding Redlich national head of workplace relations and safety Charles Power said: “Jane’s proven track record and specialist expertise will be invaluable support for our clients to navigate the complexities of health and safety law.”
“Her extensive experience working with a diverse range of clients will add to the depth of our existing team of more than 20 safety lawyers in Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and Queensland.”
Hall added: “Holding Redlich is a great fit for me, and my clients. Its strong industry focus complements my experience and expertise, and I am looking forward to supporting Charles and the workplace health and safety team to expand our practice in Victoria and nationally.”
“I also look forward to assisting the firm’s clients tackle persistent health and safety challenges, including managing psychosocial risks and health and safety vulnerability, as well as the emerging challenges of artificial intelligence, new types of work, workforce demographic shifts and hybrid work.”
