Thomsons adds 2 partners to Adelaide office

Harrington brings over 15 years of advisory experience for property and commercial matters in a range of sectors, including hospitality and agriculture. According to Thomsons, she has built a reputation for delivering actionable and commercially focused advice on complex transactions, leasing arrangements, and land division and subdivision projects.

Viant specialises in industrial disputes, enterprise bargaining, work health and safety, investigations and government advisory, and employee claims, including sensitive workplace investigations into allegations of sexual harassment, bullying, fraud and corruption.

Chief executive partner Adrian Tembel said the appointments signal the firm’s continued growth and investment intentions for areas with increasing demand.

“Lisa brings extensive commercial property and development experience and a strong client following, while Liz adds significant depth to our employment and workplace relations capability,” Tembel said.

Both additions, he said, “further strengthen our offering in Adelaide and reinforce our commitment to investing in high-quality people and practices across the firm”.

Harrington said: “Thomsons has an outstanding reputation for delivering high-quality, commercial legal advice and for its strong, collaborative culture.

“I look forward to working with the team to build on the firm’s property and commercial practice, and supporting clients with practical, solutions-focused advice that aligns with their business objectives.”

In the same vein, Viant said: “Thomsons’ collaborative culture and growing national employment practice made it an exciting opportunity.

“I look forward to working with clients across both the private and government sectors on complex workplace, investigations and industrial relations matters.”

As reported on 25 May, the firm, then known as Thomson Geer, split operations after 12 years and launched the standalone firm, Faculti Lawyers.

On the separation, Tembel noted the firm’s intention and capacity to grow in key practice areas, adding: “The move to Thomsons and the launch of Faculti Lawyers give each brand the ability to be understood more clearly for what it does best.”
