Effective 1 July, we are pleased to announce appointments across the firm, recognising lawyers who have earned the trust of clients and colleagues alike, and who are helping to shape the future of RedeMont.
“These promotions really reflect who we are as a firm. We grow when our people grow. Each of these appointments has been earned through consistent quality of work, genuine care for clients and for each other, and a commitment to doing things properly. We’re incredibly proud to recognise them.” – Lee James, CEO
Vanessa Walsh has been appointed NSW Planning Practice Leader. Vanessa practised in Sydney for over a decade and has deep dual jurisdiction expertise in planning and development matters.
