Brad Popple, Emily Baxter, and James Parkinson (all pictured) – who work in the firm’s Melbourne, Sydney and Perth offices, respectively, have all been promoted to partner at Kingston Reid during what the firm’s managing partner Alice DeBoos called “an exciting time, as we continue to expand and build for the future”.
The trio, DeBoos said, are each “fabulous embodiments of the Kingston Reid way … completely dedicated to the firm, our team and our clients” and that “these three will greatly enrich our partnership and our firm into the future”.
Popple, Baxter, and Parkinson support clients across workplace relations and employment matters, in both advice and litigation.
“It’s a really interesting time in employment and industrial relations law, and I’m proud to be able to help our clients stay at the cutting edge of navigating the challenges,” Popple said.
“Kingston Reid is unique in having a large national team of lawyers who are so intensely curious and passionate about what we do, and I’m looking forward to contributing as a partner.”
Baxter said: “I am delighted to be joining the ranks of such frank, fearless, and fantastic partners at Kingston Reid who are experts in their field and whose focus is on delighting and achieving the best outcomes for clients.”
“I enjoy my work as a lawyer and am passionate about solving problems and resolving legal issues. The dynamic and fast-paced nature of employment and industrial law in Australia makes for an exciting and challenging opportunity, and I am looking forward to navigating the complexities and delivering innovative solutions for clients as a partner at Kingston Reid.”
Parkinson said: “With a significant amount of recent change and more on the horizon, workplace relations are at an intriguing crossroads.”
“I am honoured to join Kingston Reid as a partner and continue walking in our clients’ shoes, alongside some of the most talented and professional legal practitioners in this space.”
Elsewhere, the firm has promoted Marcus Topp, Kat Weston, and David Perrozzi to senior associate, all three of whom also work in the firm’s Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth offices, respectively.
These new senior associates, DeBoos said, “demonstrate our core values through their approach to work, client service and their loyalty to the firm and their colleagues”.
“Kingston Reid’s collective success has enabled growth to the extent that we can promote six individuals this year, and I’m exceptionally proud of that fact,” she said.
