Roussos Legal Advisory joins Sparke Helmore’s Darwin office

George Roussos (pictured), Sparke Helmore said, is a nationally accredited mediator with extensive experience in advising clients on business and commercial disputes, work health and safety, employment, insurance, and workers’ compensation, and work with clients includes both initiating and defending claims, as well as negotiating and mediating disputes.

He was the president of the Northern Territory Chamber of Commerce and chair of the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Advisory Council.

Roussos, who was Roussos Legal Advisory’s managing partner, has joined with a team of three, including special counsel Melanie Blackman.

He will serve as Sparke Helmore’s local managing partner in Darwin.

The news follows Sparke Helmore’s merger with Queensland boutique Woods Price Lawyers in April.

It also follows the BigLaw firm’s addition of a partner from Baker McKenzie in mid-June and its hiring of a partner from Mills Oakley earlier that month.
