Lawyer Redundancies at Sparke Helmore

Posted by The Spy | Posted in GFC Redundancies, Sparke Helmore | Posted on 9.28pm

With regular reports of international law-firm redundancies a regular news-cast, talk in the Australian landscape has

Lost that sparke
been, until now, relatvely speculative. Alas, the GFC tentacles have spread locally as the need to sack workers has touched Sparke Helmore.

As reported in the Financial Review, Sparke Helmore head of HR, Damian Dooley, has confirmed that 3 staff members were made redundant as ‘part of normal organisational change’. Two of the three redundancies were legal staff members.

Sparke Helmore is yet to confirm whether the lawyers and staff lost represent the entire number of employees it intends to make redundant as its response to the GFC.  If you know more than us, let us know! Share your thoughts and comments with the Firm Spy.
