Stuart Cork has joined Sparke Helmore's insolvency and restructuring team as a senior associate in Sydney.
"Despite recent signs of improvement in some sectors of the Australian economy, demand for specialist insolvency services remains strong," said partner and head of the firm's insolvency and restructuring service line, Richard Anicich.
