Ex-Corrs Chambers Westgarth lawyer Justin Fox has been announced as the new head of Hamilton Locke Melbourne’s corporate team.

“We are delighted to welcome Justin Fox to our Melbourne office and to grow our corporate practice. Justin’s extensive skillset and diverse experience is a great asset to our corporate practice, clients, and the wider firm,” managing partner Nick Humphrey said.

He operated extensively in Southeast Asia at the start of his career, and continues to practise globally. He has a wealth of experience in issues involving foreign investment, takeovers, schemes of arrangement and private treaty M&A.

Hamilton Locke also strengthened its Sydney team with the addition of its first tax partner. Seema Sandhu previously worked with Clayton Utz’s taxation team and with KPMG in Hong Kong.
