She will “enhance”, the firm continued, its national offering across all aspects of employment law, including industrial relations and termination disputes, flexible working arrangements, discrimination, recruitment, work-related injury claims, contracts, collective and individual employment agreements, labour hire and contractors, common law claims and investigations matters.

Speaking about Ms Marando’s appointment, Maddocks chief executive David Newman said: “We have seen a steady increase in demand for our employment services over the last year, and Rosemary’s appointment will be key in ensuring that we continue to offer our clients, and in particular our clients across all three tiers of government, a market-leading approach.”

Maddocks partner and NSW state government sector lead Vanessa Andersen added: “I am thrilled Rosemary has joined the team.

“Rosemary will strengthen our offering to government, and her appointment further demonstrates our national team’s ongoing commitment to building a large, diverse and expert employment law team to support both public and private sector clients.”
