Mr Love, the firm said in a statement, is a “highly regarded litigation lawyer recognised for his expertise in commercial disputes, competition and consumer law, technology, and regulatory investigations and enforcement”.
He joins JWS from Norton Rose Fulbright, where he was a special counsel and advised on disputes and investigations including for the ACCC and ASIC. Prior to his time at NRF, he worked as a policy adviser with the Victorian government.
Speaking about the appointment, JWS managing partner Peter Slattery said that Mr Love’s expertise makes him a “great fit” for the national firm.
“Regulatory enforcement has been a significant driver in the growth of Australian litigation. We have built a strong reputation in this space, most recently advising on many of the most notable regulatory investigations and class actions coming out of the Hayne Royal Commission,” he said.
“James is a highly talented litigator who is well positioned to help us meet the growing demand for services in this area.”
