HWL Ebsworth Lawyers has announced two new partner appointments for its recently launched Perth office. Erica Hartley, previously at Herbert Smith Freehills, will be joining the firm as the head of the Workplace Relations & Safety Group in Perth and Paul Wilson, previously at Minter Ellison, will be joining as a partner in the Property Group.

"We have a stated desire to double the size of our recently opened Perth office, and we couldn't have hoped for a more positive start than welcoming new partners of the calibre of Erica and Paul to the firm," said managing partner Juan Martinez. "To have two of Perth's leading practitioners elect to join our firm so soon after entering the Western Australian market is a testament to the growing recognition that our unique business model enables leading practitioners to deliver greater value for money to their clients than ever before.”
