Mr Frost has “back-end experience [which] ranges from large-scale court proceedings through to bespoke alternative dispute resolution solutions”.
HopgoodGanim also congratulated two special counsel appointees, Damon King and Mark Hyde, who will be working in the Brisbane and Perth offices, respectively.
Mr King “advises both employers and employees on the complete range of technical issues associated with industrial and employment law including contracting, restraints and unfair dismissals”.
