Sparke Helmore adds Norton Rose partner elect

Former Norton Rose Australia lawyer and partner elect Bill Kritharas has joined Sparke Helmore as a partner.

Kritharas was one of 15 new partners announced by Norton Rose in April, but departed the firm soon after. In addition to being a councillor at Canterbury City Council, Kritharas brings with him substantial experience advising on occupational health and safety (OHS) issues, with particular experience advising clients in the construction, property and local government sectors. His appointment to the firm comes at a time when Australian companies are increasingly focused on the national harmonisation of OHS laws.

The appointment of Kritharas expands the firm’s OHS practice group to 33 lawyers including six partners.
