The new partners are joined by 7 new special counsel, 13 senior associates, 18 associates and 6 services.

“Our promotions demonstrate the firm’s ongoing transformation, both internally and across the legal sector, backed up by our dedication to making a difference to our clients”, CEO David Newman added.

Meanwhile, Wong, who is also a civil litigator, tackles matters involving workers' compensation, personal injury, public liability, dust disease injuries, institutional risk and liability, contractual indemnity, and third-party recovery.
