Partners Jonathan McTigue and Lisa Vo, together with lawyers Cihan Icel and Lily Joslin-Boyle, have left HWLE Lawyers to join Holding Redlich’s Melbourne construction, infrastructure, and projects practice.

McTigue, who left HWLE in 2025 and also honed his skills as a partner at Clayton Utz, has more than 25 years of experience advising contractors and government and private-sector principals on complex infrastructure, construction, mining, and government-related matters.

 
 

Reflecting on the move, McTigue said: “I’m excited to join a team with such deep sector expertise and look forward to working together to support clients operating in complex project environments.”

Vo has advised government and private-sector clients on claims management and dispute resolution and acted on some of Victoria’s most significant infrastructure and transport projects.

“I’m delighted to be joining Holding Redlich at a time of continued growth in its construction, infrastructure, and projects practice.

“It’s an exciting opportunity to contribute my experience on major infrastructure projects and support the firm’s expansion in Victoria and nationally,” Vo said.

National head of construction, infrastructure and projects Stephen Burton said the appointments reflect Holding Redlich’s strategic investment in talent that strengthens the firm’s capabilities in the sector.

“Jonathan and Lisa bring significant experience advising on complex construction and infrastructure matters across the full project life cycle, complementing our existing strengths and expertise.

“Together with Cihan and Lily, they add further depth to our team and position us strongly for continued growth in the construction and infrastructure sector,” Burton said.
